The invention discloses a polysiloxane-based
shape memory polymer and a preparation method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
shape memory polymer synthesis. The method comprises the following steps: sequentially adding a
formaldehyde solution, a solution dissolved with
siloxane and 2-naphthol into a container, and reacting at 90-100 DEG C for 1.5-3 hours; removing the
solvent through reduced pressure
distillation, then washing liquid residues for multiple times by using deionized water to obtain a product, and
drying the product at 60 DEG C for 6 hours to obtain
viscous liquid; the liquid is placed in a mold, then the mold is transferred into a
drying oven, the temperature is increased to 120 DEG C and 140 DEG C in sequence, heat preservation is conducted for 1 h, finally, the temperature is increased to 190 DEG C to 220 DEG C, the temperature is kept for 5 h to 6.5 h, and curing is completed. The
shape memory polymer formed by polymerizing
siloxane and 2-naphthol has more Si-O groups,
benzene rings and oxazine rings, the groups can enhance the tolerance of the
polymer to high temperature, chemical or physical crosslinking points serve as a
stationary phase to memorize a permanent shape, and a flexible
alkyl-
siloxane unit serves as a switching section to fix a temporary shape.
