Catalyst-free thermoset polyurethane with permanent shape reconfigurability and highly tunable triple-shape memory performance
Abstract
Thermoset shape memory polymer (SMP) with dynamic covalent bonds in the network is a new class of SMPs for which the permanent shape can be reconfigured via topological rearrangement (plasticity). Catalyzed transcarbamoylation has recently been established as an effective exchange reaction for plasticity in cross-linked polyurethane networks. However, ensuring the plasticity severely constrains the network design which adversely affects the ability to tune other classical shape memory properties for practical applications. Facing this new challenge, we design an amorphous polyurethane system for which the cross-linking density can be adjusted in a wide range. We discovered that the use of an aromatic diisocyanate in the synthesis of the polyurethanes facilitates achieving plasticity without requiring any catalyst. The overall network design leads to tunable recovery stress and shape memory transition temperatures without sacrificing the plasticity. The versatility of our polyurethane SMP is further reflected in its triple-shape memory performance. We anticipate that our tunable polyurethanes will benefit a variety of potential SMP device applications.

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.
