摘要
A fast switchable, epoxy based shape-memory polymer is presented. For this, a partially crystalline epoxy resin was formed by cationic polymerization in the presence of a high meltable polyester polyol, namely poly(omega-pentadecalactone) (PPDL). Under certain polymerization conditions, this system generates a high degree of crystallinity compared to the respective poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL) counterpart. Thus, such an epoxy/PPDL composite exhibits very fast shape-fixity and a good shape-memory cycle stability. Furthermore, the formation of a heterogeneous morphology by segregation and crystallization leads to enhanced strength and toughness compared to the respective epoxy/PCL composites.
