Abstract

The invention discloses an optically transparent polymer-based shape memory material and a preparation method thereof. The material is composed of an optically transparent amorphous polymer and an optically transparent thermoplastic elastomer, and a special parallel alternate laminated structure ensures high optical transparency. In addition, the amorphous polymer serves as a shape memory reversible phase, and temporary shape fixation and thawing are achieved based on glass transition of the amorphous polymer; the thermoplastic elastomer serves as a shape memory stationary phase, elastic strain energy can be stored in the temporary shape shaping process, and when the thermoplastic elastomer is stimulated by body temperature, the stored energy is released and drives the material to return to the initial shape. The material prepared by the preparation method provided by the invention has excellent optical transparency and shape memory performance; the required raw materials are commercially available, and the formula is adjustable; the preparation method is simple, high in production efficiency and capable of realizing continuous batch production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of processing and manufacturing high-performance functional polymer materials, in particular to an optically transparent polymer-based shape memory material and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Polymer-based shape memory materials generally refer to a class of smart materials that can return from a temporary shape to an initial shape under temperature stimulation, and have been widely used in many fields such as biomedicine, packaging and sealing, drive sensing, and aerospace. The polymer-based shape memory material is composed of a shape memory reversible phase and a shape memory stationary phase. The shape memory reversible phase has a reversible "melt-crystallization" or glass transition, providing a shape memory switch temperature, and playing the role of fixing and unfreezing the temporary shape , while the shape memory stationary phase is responsible for remembering the initial shape. ...
