Abstract
Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are a class of stimulus-responsive materials that are capable of restoring shape after heating. With the development of science and technology, the requirements for shape memory materials are getting higher and higher to meet the needs of different applications. However, these conventional shape memory materials are hard to be remodeled into different shapes due to their cross-linking structure. Meanwhile, the single-heating-triggered shape memory effect limits the application scenarios of SMPs. Herein, we reported a dynamically cross-linking polymer network using polycaprolactone copped with dopamine (PCL-Dopa) and complex ion Fe3+ to realize the remodeling of polymers after shape restoration. In addition, based on the photothermal conversion of metal–organic coordination formed by PCL-Dopa and Fe3+, such SMPs can achieve a sensitive photothermal response and realize the shape memory effect. Therefore, these PCL-Dopa-Fe3+ polymers have the potential to be applied in light-responsive switches, brakes, and other scenarios.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Polymer Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of engineering, chemistry, physics, and biology relevant to applications of polymers.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates fundamental knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, polymer science and chemistry into important polymer applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses relationships among structure, processing, morphology, chemistry, properties, and function as well as work that provide insights into mechanisms critical to the performance of the polymer for applications.
