Abstract

From the point of better biocompatibility and sustainability, biobased shape memory polymers (SMPs) are highly desired. We used 1,3-propanediol, sebacic acid, and itaconic acid, which have been industrially produced via fermentation or extraction with large quantities as the main raw materials for the synthesis of biobased poly(propylene sebacate). Diethylene glycol was used to tailor the flexibility of the polyester. The resulted polyesters were found to be promising SMPs with excellent shape recovery and fixity (near 100% and independent of thermomechanical cycles). The switching temperature and recovery speed of the SMPs are tunable by controlling the composition of the polyesters and their curing extent. The continuously changed switching temperature ranging from 12 to 54 °C was realized. Such temperature range is typical for biomedical applications in the human body. The molecular and crystalline structures were explored to correlate to the shape memory behavior. The combination of potential biocompatibility and biodegradability of the biobased SMPs makes them suitable for fabricating biomedical devices.

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.
