Abstract

Novel polydiolcitrate elastomers with thermally induced shape-memory properties are synthesized. These thermoresponsive polymers can be prepared as films or porous 3D sponges. Above their transition temperature, these materials display an elastomeric behavior, but below their transition temperature they have a glassy state. This thermally induced transition allows for the acquisition of their dual shape.
