简介:一系列随机的共聚物(PCLA)被D,L减水乳酸(LA)和-caprolactone(CL)的戒指洞聚合与不同臼齿的比率综合。PCLA基于聚氨酯(PCLAU)被获得由有hexamethylenediisocyanate(HDI)的PCLA和polytetramethylene醚(PTMEG)扩大链。所有PCLAU超过98%与高形状固定性比率展出好形状记忆性质,在第一的超过82%的形状恢复比率骑车,91%在第二骑车。有更少的CL内容的PCLAU证明有更多的CL内容的更快的恢复速度和PCLAU显示出更高的形状恢复比率。扳机温度能被以CL调整LA的臼齿的比率在身体温度附近调节或控制。PCLAU有潜在的应用在植入生物医学的设备,特别为最低限度地侵略的可部署的设备。
