This study reports a novel shape memory copolymer synthesized with 2-(dimethylamino)-ethyl-methacrylate (DMAEMA) and methyl-allyl-polyethenoxy-ether (TPEG) for potential biological applications. In the DMAEMA–TPEG copolymers, TPEG segments form a semi-crystalline phase that serves as the reversible phase, while DMAEMA segments form an amorphous phase containing physical interactive networks that serve as the hard phase. As the TPEG content increases, the crystallinity and the rate of crystallization increase, and the TPEG phase changes from dispersed small spherical crystals to a continuous crystalline phase. Additionally, good crystallinity of the TPEG phase endows the copolymers with good shape fixity, whereas the shape recovery decreases as the TPEG content decreases. DMAEMA–TPEG copolymers also exhibit the multi-shape memory effect with a good triple-shape memory effect. Finally, the investigation of the water contact angle illustrates that all DMAEMA–TPEG copolymers have good hydrophilicity. Thus, it is proposed that DMAEMA–TPEG copolymers might have great potential for biological applications.

In this work, a bio-shape memory polymer (SMP) with high performance is prepared by using cellulose acetate (CA) as raw material. The materials exhibit good mechanical properties with tensile strength and elongation at break over 46 MPa and 115%, respectively. With hydrogen bond interaction as physically cross-linked points, the materials also present excellent dual-shape memory properties with shape fixation and shape recovery ratio of about 99% and 96%, respectively. Moreover, the materials show good triple-shape memory effect. The recyclability of the materials is also investigated and the results show that the reclaimed samples still hold high mechanical and shape memory properties. With the intrinsic biocompatibility and biodegradation of CA, the materials could be an attractive candidate for applications in smart biomedical devices. Furthermore, the usage of CA as SMP could expand the view of preparing bio-SMP in future.

This article demonstrates a comparative investigation about the effect of diisocyanate on pyridine containing shape memory polyurethanes (Py-SMPUs), which are synthesized with N , N -bis(2-hydroxylethyl)isonicotinamide (BINA) and four different diisocyanates: 1,6-hexanediisocyante (HDI), isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), and tolylene diisocyanate (TDI). Results show that all BINA–SMPU systems have amorphous reversible phase. Comparatively, the MDI–BINA and TDI–BINA systems show higher T g ; and the HDI–BINA and IPDI–BINA systems show better thermal stability. In addition, the HDI–BINA and the IPDI–BINA systems exhibit good thermal-induced shape memory effect and good moisture-sensitive shape memory effect due to their better moisture absorption properties. Particularly, the HDI–BINA system has better response speed and better shape recovery. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2014 , 131 , 40721.

We synthesized shape memory poly(aryl ether ketone) (PAEK) and grafted carboxylic acid pyridine zwitterions onto the main chains for fabricating the zwitterionic PAEK (ZPAEK) material. ZPAEK exhibited a Tg of around 120 °C, great thermal stability, and mechanical performances, and heat-triggered shape memory behaviors, including high shape recovery ratio (over 98.7%) and fixity ratio (over 98%). Besides, we improved the hydrophilicity of PAEK by incorporating carboxylic acid pyridine zwitterions, for the first time, achieving the exceptional water-actuated shape memory behaviors for PAEK at room temperature. Furthermore, the controllable reconfiguration behaviors were achieved through the interaction between carboxylic acid pyridine zwitterions and water molecules. For the sample of any temporary shape, after absorbing water, its previous original shape was eliminated, and the deformed temporary shape could be redefined as the “original” shape to construct an unprecedented shape memory cycle, never returning to the first original shape. Additionally, the excellent triple shape memory behaviors of sample were obtained after absorbing water. After the programmable shape fixation processes, the sample of temporary shape could recover to the original shape through the two stages: one was at 110 °C, and the other was at 140 °C. We did believe the water-actuated, reconfigurable, and triple shape memory ZPAEK could be an ideal substitute material for smart sensors and actuators.

Multi-stimuli selective actuation of shape memory polymers (SMPs) with multi memory capabilities have attracted great attention in recent years, due to diverse active deformation application scenarios. Current multi-SMPs with low T t , however, are faced with inherent barriers, such as low fixation and inaccurate control, because the shape retainability, controllability, and responsiveness of SMPs are highly determined by transition temperature (T t ). Herein, quadruple-shape memory poly(aryl ether ketone) (PAEK) with tunable high T t and selective response characteristics were successfully fabricated for the first time, which especially harnessed ultra-high programmability and controllability. More significantly, the quadruple shape memory PAEK-based smart architectures such as “fingers” and “flower” were demonstrated to exhibit the controllable multi-stages actions. Utilizing a “man” as an example, we put forward different programming routes up to ten to make it perform complex pre-set deformation actions. The quadruple shape memory PAEK of high T t possessed great utilizing potential in fields of soft robots , actuators, and deformable devices.

Shape memory polymers (SMPs) have a wide range of potential applications in many fields. In particular, electrically driven SMPs have attracted increasing attention due to their unique electrical deformation behaviors. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are often used as SMP conductive fillers because of their excellent electrical conductivities. However, raw CNTs do not disperse into the polymer matrix well. This strictly limits their use. In this study, to improve their dispersion performance characteristics in the polymer matrix, hydroxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-OHs) were functionalized with octadecyl isocyanate (i-MWCNTs). Polyurethane with shape memory properties (SMPU) was synthesized using polycaprolactone diol (PCL-diol), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), and 1,4-butanediol (BDO) at a 1:5:4 ratio. Then, electroactive shape memory composites were developed by blending SMPU with i-MWCNTs to produce SMPU/i-MWCNTs. The functionalized i-MWCNTs exhibited better dispersibility characteristics in organic solvents and SMPU composites than the MWCNT-OHs. The addition of i-MWCNTs reduced the crystallinity of SMPU without affecting the original chemical structure. In addition, the hydrogen bond index and melting temperature of the SMPU soft segment decreased significantly, and the thermal decomposition temperatures of the composites increased. The SMPU/i-MWCNT composites exhibited conductivity when the i-MWCNT content was 0.5 wt%. This conductivity increased with the i-MWCNT content. In addition, when the i-MWCNT content exceeded 1 wt%, the composite temperature could increase beyond 60°C within 140 s and the temporary structure could be restored to its initial state within 120 s using a voltage of 30 eV. Therefore, the functionalized CNTs exhibit excellent potential for use in the development of electroactive shape memory composites, which may be used in flexible electronics and other fields.

Four-dimensional (4D)-printing technology is attractive to researchers since it combines 3D printing with smart materials to produce 3D structures with various shapes and change shapes under specific external stimuli. Herein, novel shape memory polymer (SMP) pellets with infrared-light responsive shape memory effect were developed for 4D printing applications. The structures, properties, and infrared-light responsive shape memory performances of the resulting (SMP) pellets were thoroughly investigated. The results showed PDA/SMP pellets prepared by direct loading of polydopamine (PDA) particles on SMP pellets displayed less influence on the basic properties of SMP while fluidity was enhanced. The obtained PDA/SMP pellets employed as feed materials for particle 3D printers revealed good thermal-induced shape memory performance and photo-responsive shape memory performance in printed 3D structures. Under infrared-light irradiation, the curled shape recovered to straight splines within 60 s due to the strong absorption and good photo-thermal conversion of the loaded PDA nanoparticles under infrared light. Overall, the as-prepared PDA/SMP pellets look promising for use in biomedical fields and smart devices, as well as remote control deformation with 4D printing technology.

One-dimensional shape memory polymer fibers (SMPFs) have obvious advantages in mechanical properties, dispersion properties, and weavability. In this work, a method for fabricating semi-crystallization ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) fiber with two-way shape memory effect by melt spinning and ultraviolet (UV) curing was developed. Here, the effect of crosslink density on its performance was systematically analyzed by gel fraction measurement, tensile tests, DSC, and TMA analysis. The results showed that the crosslink density and shape memory properties of EVA fiber could be facilely adjusted by controlling UV curing time. The resulting EVA fiber with cylindrical structure had a diameter of 261.86 ± 13.07 μm, and its mechanical strength and elongation at break were 64.46 MPa and 114.33%, respectively. The critical impact of the crosslink density and applied constant stress on the two-way shape memory effect were analyzed. Moreover, the single EVA fiber could lift more than 143 times its own weight and achieve 9% reversible actuation strain. The reversible actuation capability was significantly enhanced by a simple winding design of the single EVA fiber, which provided great potential applications in smart textiles, flexible actuators, and artificial muscles.Keywords:shape memory polymer fiber;two-way shape memory effect;melt spinning;UV curing

This paper reports a facile preparation of re-configurable shape memory polymer (SMP) with photo-polymerization method. A novel SMP was successfully prepared from the photo-curable resin synthesized with hexamethylenediacrylate and 1,6-Hexanedithiol. The photo-cured polymer forms semi-crystalline reversible phase and chemically cross-linked netpoints. They show good thermal-induced shape memory effect with about 92% shape fixity and about 99% shape recovery. Moreover, the photo-cured SMPs have excellent thermal-induced shape reconfiguration properties. A new permanent shape could be reconfigured easily by heat treatment at 130 °C. It is thus proposed that the photo-curable resin could be used as “printing ink” for SMP 4D printing applications.

The shape memory behavior of hydrogels endows themselves with the capacities of shape programming and shape recovering, which have great potential in many fields, such as drug release and soft robotics. In thermally responsive hydrogel , particularly, there are two critical factors, temperature and water, that can induce the shape memory effect(SME). Temperature-induced SME has been extensively studied, while water-induced SME has been rarely investigated. In our work, the combined effect of water and temperature on shape memory behavior of hydrogels is experimentally studied and deeply analyzed from a physical perspective. We found that the shape fixed ratio of shape memory hydrogels (SMHs) increases monotonically with temperature, but first increases and then decreases with water content. Moreover, it exits a nonlinear coupling between the water and temperature effects on the SME. On the basis of these findings, a constitutive model is developed to capture this thermo-aqueous coupling using the statistical theory of transient networks, from which we obtain an explicit evolution equation of deformation gradient . In the proposed theory, the temperature-induced SME is investigated through the temperature-water responsive association and dissociation of dynamic bonds while the water-induced SME is explained by the variation of the glass transition temperature according to the Fox–Flory model. Finally, and to provide a final test of the theoretical work, it is implemented into a user element (UEL) subroutine which provide simulations in agreement with our experiments. Our work is expected to provide guidance for future application of SMHs.

Two-way shape memory polymers (2WSMP) are highly desired for artificial muscles, soft actuators and sensors, while the stress-free 2WSMP greatly expands the practical potential of shape memory polymers. However, traditional 2WSMP cannot show high strength or good mechanical properties, which limited its practical application. It is important to create a new reversible polymer system in order to obtain more intricate movements, precise control and great mechanical properties. Herein, a two-way shape memory polyurethane was created using a new molecular strategy, which shows great properties, i.e., 2342% super stretch strain, 591 MPa true tensile strength, 708.04 J/kg of energy density, and 667.96 W/kg of power density. In addition, the 2WSMP could achieve a maximum 24.53% reversible transformation under 1 MPa stress, and 13.7% two-way shape change without external stress, respectively. In this polyurethane, the great mechanical properties and stress-free two-way shape memory effect are caused by the elastic polybutadiene (PB) segments, which acts as a “molecular spring.” Furthermore, this 2WSMP could simulate reversible muscle-like motion, and be employed in ligaments. Consequently, this polyurethane offers a fresh design concept for stress-free two-way performance memory polymers and has a wide range of potential applications in the field of artificial muscles, soft actuators and ligaments.

Shape memory mandrel is more and more used in industrial production field. In order to obtain high strength and high precision polymer based products, shape memory mandrel has been widely concerned. Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) is a semi-crystalline polymer. Because of its good degradability and shape memory effect, PCL is considered as an important raw material for the preparation of shape memory mandrel. In this paper, a shape memory polyurethane with a dendritic topological structure was synthesized by molecular cross-linking of poly(ε-caprolactone) diol and 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol (TMPD). The shape memory polyurethane (SMPU) was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis, shore A durometer test, and shape memory analysis. The results showed that all the active groups were involved in the reaction, and the crystallinity of the prepared SMPU decreased with the decrease in PCL content. The shape memory effect of SMPU was influenced by PCL and TMPD contents. When the molar ratio of PCL and TMPD in SMPU is 1:3, SMPU has the best shape memory effect. Its shape fixation ratio and shape recovery ratio are 100%, shape memory recovery time is 153.3 s, and hard segment content is 44.85%. In conclusion, PCL based shape memory polyurethane has potential application in mandrels and needs further research.
