Abstract

For the design of shape memory polymers with potential biomedical applications, we synthesized methacrylate-based monomers bearing biological compounds such as cholic acid and cinnamic acid in addition to oligo(ethylene glycol) as pendant groups and opted to use a simple radical polymerization method for the preparation of the copolymers. The glass transition temperatures of these polymers are broad and tunable and can thus accommodate dual and triple shape memory behaviors. The fixity ratios of dual and triple shape memory are all above 91%. The recovery ratio of dual shape memory is 89.5%, whereas the two recovery ratios of triple shape memory are 53.2 and 81.5%, respectively. To further improve the shape memory properties, a cinnamic acid-based methacrylate monomer was incorporated into the copolymers to enable a photo-cross-linking of the terpolymer. After irradiation, the fixity ratios remain high, whereas the recovery ratios of dual and triple shape memories are much improved. The terpolymers after light irradiation even show quadruple shape memory property. Different irradiation times were tested to optimize the shape memory effects. The recovery ratio of dual shape memory of such terpolymers can reach as high as 98.6%, whereas the recovery ratios of triple and quadruple shape memories are improved to the range of 75.3-99.1%.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The temperature-memory effect approach has been largely employed to achieve multiple-way SMPs with a broad glass transition or a broad melting transition as the switching transition.

    “Such an approach has been largely employed to achieve multiple-way SMPs with a broad glass transition [82-92] and a broad melting transition [93-95] as the switching transition.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
