MULTIBLOCK COPOLYMERS WITH SHAPE-MEMORY PROPERTIES

摘要

The invention relates to a multiblock copolymer with shape-memory properties and a synthetic precursor of the multiblock copolymer 1. The multiblock copolymer comprises: (i) a poly(depsipeptide) segment with an average molecular weight MW in the range of 1,000 to 20,000 g/mol; and (ii) a poly(ε-caprolactone) segment with an average molecular weight Mw in the range of 1,000 to 10,000 g/mol.
