[0047] Comparative Example 2

[0048] 0.1 mol polycarbonate diol (molecular weight 2000) was added to the reaction container, vacuum dehydration was carried out, nitrogen was then introduced, the temperature was raised to 65°C, 0.2 mol hexamethylene diisocyanate was added, and the reaction was carried out for 2 hours to obtain a polyurethane prepolymer; then the polyurethane prepolymer and 0.1 mol UPy-based chain extender were quickly stirred and quickly poured into a preheated mold, and heat cured at 120°C for 1 hour in a flat vulcanizer under a pressure of 8 MPa, and then placed in an oven and aged at 100°C for 20 hours to obtain a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer.

[0049] The tensile properties of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers were tested according to GB / T 528-2009. The Shore hardness of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomers was tested according to GB / T531.1-2009. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0050] Table 1 Mechanical properties test of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer

[0051]

[0052]

[0053] The thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer was made into a dumbbell-shaped specimen of 25mm×5mm×1mm (the middle length of the specimen was L0), placed in an oven at 80°C, left for 5mm, then slowly stretched to 200% (the middle length of the specimen was 2L0), then suddenly cooled to 0°C and left for 5min (the middle length of the specimen was L1), the load was removed, and the temperature was increased from 25°C to 90°C (the middle length of the specimen was L2) on a heat stage at a heating rate of 5°C / min, repeated 3 times, and the average value was taken to calculate the shape fixation rate and shape recovery rate. Shape fixation rate = (L1-L0) / L0×100%. Shape recovery rate = (2L0-L2) / L0×100%. The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0054] Table 2 Shape memory properties test of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer

[0055] Shape fixation rate (%) Shape recovery rate (%) Example 1 98.01 99.15 Example 2 98.14 99.85 Example 3 94.78 98.13 Example 4 96.24 98.65 Comparative Example 1 39.24 58.12 Comparative Example 2 91.93 95.86

[0056] As shown in Table 1 and Table 2, the Shore hardness of the thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer of each embodiment reaches 79-88, the tensile strength reaches 26.4-44.6 MPa, and the elongation at break reaches 715.7-1125.0%. It shows excellent mechanical properties. At the same time, the shape fixation rate reaches 94.78-98.14%, and the shape recovery rate reaches 98.13-99.85%. This is because the UPy-based chain extender is added to the polyurethane, and the UPy structural unit ( ), and UPy-based hyperbranched polyamide is added at the same time. The hyperbranched polyamide contains a branched network molecular chain, which forms a three-dimensional physical cross-linked network with the polyurethane molecular chain. At the same time, the UPy structural unit in the hyperbranched polyamide molecular chain forms a unique quadruple hydrogen bond with the UPy structural unit in the polyurethane molecular chain, further enhancing the interface bonding strength between the polyurethane and the hyperbranched polyamide, forming a more stable cross-linked system, and significantly improving the hardness and tensile properties of the polyurethane elastomer. In addition, the quadruple hydrogen bond formed between the hyperbranched polyamide and the polyurethane has a strong cross-linking reversibility. When subjected to an external force, the quadruple hydrogen bond breaks. When the external force disappears, the quadruple hydrogen bond has a cross-linking effect, thereby giving the polyurethane elastomer unique self-healing and shape memory properties, showing a very high shape fixation rate and shape recovery rate.

[0057] In Comparative Example 1, 1,4-butanediol is used as a chain extender. The polyurethane elastomer molecular chain does not contain a UPy structural unit and cannot form a quadruple hydrogen bond with the UPy-based hyperbranched polyamide, resulting in low interfacial bonding strength between the polyurethane and the hyperbranched polyamide, and poor mechanical properties and shape memory properties.

[0058] Comparative Example 2 does not add UPy-based hyperbranched polyamide, and the hardness and tensile properties of the polyurethane elastomer are poor, which are lower than those of Comparative Example 1. It can be seen that UPy-based hyperbranched polyamide has a great influence on the mechanical properties of the polyurethane elastomer. However, the shape fixation rate and shape recovery rate of Comparative Example 2 are significantly higher than those of Comparative Example 1, and have certain shape memory properties. This is because the molecular chain of the polyurethane elastomer contains UPy structural units, so that quadruple hydrogen bonds can be formed between the polyurethane molecular chains, which can give the polyurethane elastomer good shape memory properties.

[0059] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
