Abstract

Shape memory polyurethane (PU) with soft and hard segments has been extensively researched since its discovery by Mitsubishi in 1988 [1]. Hard segments can be formed via hydrogen bonding and crystallization, function as physical crosslinks below melting point (Tm). The reversible phase transformation of the soft segment is responsible for the shape memory effect. (omitted)
