Elaboration of degradable PCL-based shape memory materials

摘要

Owing to the different crosslinking strategies, reversible or not, the resulting SMPs exhibit marked differences in their shape memory properties. However, for each SMP, excellent recovery and fixity were observed as assessed by DMA. Moreover, the higher stability under stress of anthracene-based SMP allows considering its application for the elaboration of a material presenting remarkable two-way shape memory behaviour.
