title = "Solution-responsive shape-memory polymer driven by forming hydrogen bonding",
abstract = "Recently, there is interest in triggering shape recovery of shape-memory polymers(SMPs) by novel non-external heating. In this paper, many hard works have been carried out to make SMP induced by solution. The main challenge in the development of such polymer systems is the conversion of solution-induced effects at the molecular level to macroscopic movement of working pieces. This paper presents a systematic study on the effects of solution on the glass transition temperature (Tg). The results reveal that the hydrogen bonding of shape memory polymer (SMP) was aroused by the absorbed solution that significantly reduces Tg of polymer. The mechanism behind it is solution firstly intenerates polymeric materials till the Tg of polymer lowered down to the temperature of ambient, then hydrogen bonding interaction improves the flexibility of polymeric macro-molecular chains. Thus, the shape memory effect (SME) can undergo solution-driven shape recovery. In addition, it provides a new approach that the SMP can be induced by applying non-energy stimulus. The Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer (DMA) results reveal that the modulus of polymer was softened gradually with immersion time increasing. The experimental result is approximate to the theory.",
