Abstract
The objective of this research is to investigate the effect of aliphatic amine chain lengths on shape memory polymers (SMPs) properties of benzoxazine resin. Bisphenol-A, paraformaldehyde, and different aliphatic amine chain lengths at 1:4:2 mol ratio are reacted at 120 °C for an hour. The synthesized samples are represented as BA-xMA, where x is the number of C atoms ranging from 6–18. It was found that shape fixity ratio (Rf) increased with short aliphatic chain, conversely to recovery ratio (Rr). Therefore, the self-copolymerization of poly(BA-xMA/BA-a)s are developed to improve the fixation ability. Interestingly, the cyclability of the copoly(BA-12dda/BA-a) at 60/40 is significantly enhanced reaching 34 cyclability where the Rr remains almost 100 %. Furthermore, the copoly(BA-12dda/BA-a) exhibits multiple-shape memory behavior resulting from a wide range of transition temperatures. The selfcopolymerization of benzoxazine reduces molecular complexity, enhances compatibility, and simplifies preparation steps, making benzoxazine-based SMPs highly promising for advanced shape memory polymer applications.
期刊介绍:
Materials Research Bulletin is an international journal reporting high-impact research on processing-structure-property relationships in functional materials and nanomaterials with interesting electronic, magnetic, optical, thermal, mechanical or catalytic properties. Papers purely on thermodynamics or theoretical calculations (e.g., density functional theory) do not fall within the scope of the journal unless they also demonstrate a clear link to physical properties. Topics covered include functional materials (e.g., dielectrics, pyroelectrics, piezoelectrics, ferroelectrics, relaxors, thermoelectrics, etc.); electrochemistry and solid-state ionics (e.g., photovoltaics, batteries, sensors, and fuel cells); nanomaterials, graphene, and nanocomposites; luminescence and photocatalysis; crystal-structure and defect-structure analysis; novel electronics; non-crystalline solids; flexible electronics; protein-material interactions; and polymeric ion-exchange membranes.
