| Abstract | In this paper degradable shape-memory polymer networks synthesized from oligo[(L-lactide)-ran-glycolide]dimethaycrylates are introduced. The macrodimethacrylates are prepared via a two-step synthesis: hydroxy telechelic oligo[(L-lactide)-ran-glycolide]s with number average molecular weights Mn ranging from 1000 to 5700 g mol−1 were synthesized by ring-opening polymerization from L,L-dilactide, diglycolide and ethylene glycol as initiator using dibutyltin oxide as the catalyst. These oligodiols are reacted with methacryloyl chloride resulting in terminal methacrylate groups. Crosslinking of macrodimethacrylates is performed under exposure to UV light without applying a photo initiator. The polymer networks obtained are transparent and hydrolytically degradable. While the mechanical properties at temperatures higher than Tg depend on crosslinking density, Tg is almost constant at about 55 °C. The shape-memory functionality of the amorphous polymer network was investigated by cyclic, thermomechanical tests under the systematic variation of different programming parameters. Good shape-memory properties with strain recovery rates close to 100% were obtained under stress-controlled programming. Under strain-controlled conditions, it needs to be considered that relatively high stresses can be generated during programming. Potential biomedical applications are intelligent implants or smart drug release systems. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
