Two-way shape memory polymer with “switch–spring” composition by interpenetrating polymer network
Abstract
In the present work, a novel molecular strategy was employed to fabricate a two-way shape memory polymer (2WSMP), which is an interpenetrating network (IPN) with elastomeric and crystalline components leading to a “switch–spring” composition. In this 2WSMP the switch, a PCL crystalline network, is responsible for the reversible shape shrinkage. While the spring, the compressed PTMEG elastomeric network, provides the push force for shape expansion. This IPN polymer has the desired two-way shape effect (2WSME) as proved by DMA.

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.
