AbstractA novel shape memory polymer based on conetworks (CNs) was synthesized. These conetworks consisting of poly(methyl methacrylate) and poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylates showed excellent shape-memory properties with a recovery ratio of nearly 100%. Moreover, different shape memory effects were discovered in different mediums due to their amphiphilic properties. In addition, a large storage modulus ratio above and below the glass transition temperature(Eratio), which probably means excellent shape memory effect, were obtained due to the designed CN structure whether crystallization existed or not. It is quite different from the traditional methods to achieve large Eratio values. The versatility of shapememory conetworks potentially provides us a new route to prepare shape memory materials.

In this work, crosslinked shape-memory polymer networks were prepared by thermally induced free-radical polymerizations of methacrylate-terminated poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and n-butyl acrylate (BA), which integrate thermal-responsive two-way and moisture-responsive one-way shape memory effects (SME).
