Abstract

As a new type of smart polymers, the shape memory polyurethanes attract increasing attention because of their wide use in various applications. Herein, a serials of novel thermo-responsive shape memory polyurethane networks were developed by chemical cross-linking of polycaprolactone with 1,3,5,7-tetrahydroxyadamantane. The polyurethane networks were characterized in relation to their microstructure, cross-linking density, surface appearance, thermal properties, static and dynamic mechanical properties, and shape memory behavior. It was found that the prepared polyurethane networks can exhibit excellent thermo-responsive shape memory properties at body temperature by controlling the molar ratio of 1,3,5,7-tetrahydroxyadamantane and polycaprolactone. Moreover, the incorporation of 1,3,5,7-tetrahydroxyadamantane substantially improved the mechanical properties of the final polyurethane networks. The versatility of the synthesized polyurethane networks is reflected by its dual- and triple-shape memory performance. It can be anticipated that the synthesized polyurethane networks could be used as smart materials for applications involving shape memory polymers.
