Abstract
⺠Synthesis of a stimuli responsive polyurethane based on PCL-PLLA tri-block copolymer. ⺠PCL (soft segments) and PLLA (hard segments) synergetic combination for shape memory. ⺠Shape-memory is verified at strains 50%, 100%, 200% and 350% at 40 °C. ⺠This polyurethane shows strong shape-memory with potential biomedical applications.
