  • Water-triggered shape memory of PCL-PEG multiblock TPUs
    Patent number: 9422393
    Abstract: Water-triggered shape memory polymers based on poly(?-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) multiblock hybrid thermoplastic polyurethanes. Urethane linkages were formed through the addition reaction between isocyanate groups of the lysine methyl-ester diisocyanate (LDI) and the hydroxyl groups of either (PEG) or PCL diol.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 13, 2013
    Date of Patent: August 23, 2016
    Assignee: Syracuse University
    Inventors: Patrick T. Mather, Gu Xinzhu
