A novel type of shape memory polyurethane (SMPU) with high mechanical properties and biodegradability was constructed using a lactone copolymer (poly(ε-caprolactone-co-γ-butyrolactone), PCLBL), a diol- or triol-based chain extender (1,5-pentanediol, glycerol and 2-amino-2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol) and a diisocyanate cross-linker (1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate).

Thermoset polymers show favorable material properties, while bringing about environmental pollution due to non-reprocessing and unrecyclable. Diels–Alder (DA) chemistry or reversible exchange boronic ester bonds have been employed to fabricate recycled polymers with covalent adaptable networks (CANs). Herein, a novel type of CANs with multiple dynamic linkers (DA chemistry and boronic ester bonds) was firstly constructed based on a linear copolymer of styrene and furfuryl methacrylate and boronic ester crosslinker. Thermoplastic polyurethane is introduced into the CANs to give a semi Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (semi IPNs) to enhance the properties of the CANs. We describe the synthesis and dynamic properties of semi IPNs. Because of the DA reaction and transesterification of boronic ester bonds, the topologies of semi IPNs can be altered, contributing to the reprocessing, self-healing, welding, and shape memory behaviors of the produced polymer. Through a microinjection technique, the cut samples of the semi IPNs can be reshaped and mechanical properties of the recycled samples can be well-restored after being remolded at 190 °C for 5 min.

A POSS–PCL shape memory network is synthesized. The cage-like POSS not only serves as a chemical netpoint, also causes improvement in mechanical properties. Optimized networks exhibit both excellent tensile strength and nearly complete recovery.

A novel exfoliated polyurethane (PU)/clay Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (IPNs) nanocomposite has been synthesized with polyurethane and organoclay. MTPAC is used as swelling agent to treat Na-montmorillonite for forming organoclay. The results indicate that there is very good compatibility between organoclay and PU. Nanoscale silicate dispersion was analyzed by XRD. The mechanical properties of the nanocomposites have been measured by tensile testing machine. The nanocomposites show obviously improved physical and mechanical properties when compared with the pure polymer. Additionally, PU /MTPAC- clay shows lower water absorption properties than pure PU do. In addition, the reinforcing and intercalating mechanism of silicate layers in polyurethane matrix are discussed.

The Semi-Interpenetrating Polymer Networks(Semi-IPNs) of poly(methyl methyacrylate/ethyl acrylate)(P(MMA/EA)) and polyurethane thermoplastic elastomer (PU) were synthesized by PU and copolymer of methyl methacrylate and ethyl acrylate to improve the compatibility of polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA) and PU Semi-IPNs . The structure and properties were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, Solid nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry, Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis and Mechanical properties. The tensile stress of (P(MMA/EA)/PU)( P(MMA/EA):PU=3:7) can get to 9.6MPa, the additional physical crosslinks and entanglement for Semi-IPNs are the reasons.
