High Performance Shape Memory Polyurethane Synthesized with High Molecular Weight Polyol as the Soft Segment

Shape memory polyurethanes (SMPUs) are typically synthesized using polyols of low molecular weight (MW~2,000 g/mol) as it is believed that the high density of cross-links in these low molecular weight polyols are essential for high mechanical strength and good shape memory effect. In this study, pol...
