Abstract

This paper aims to explore the application of SMPs (Shape Memory Polymers) composite materials in aerospace deformable structures, and comprehensively analyze its historical background, theoretical basis, social and cultural influence, ethical considerations and future prospects from the perspective of liberal arts. Firstly, this paper introduces the basic concepts and characteristics of SMPs, and the urgent demand for deformable structures in aerospace field, and makes clear the importance and significance of the research. Then, by reviewing the development history of shape memory materials, this paper deeply analyzes its scientific principles and key technologies of composite design and preparation. At the same time, the influence of technological innovation on the progress of human civilization and the shaping effect of aerospace technology development on social culture are examined from a cultural perspective. On this basis, this paper further analyzes the socio-economic benefits and ethical challenges of SMPs composite materials in the aerospace field, especially its impact on environmental protection and sustainable development. The results show that SMPs composites have a wide application prospect in aerospace deformable structures, which can not only improve the performance and efficiency of aircraft, but also promote the development of green aviation.
