| Abstract | The structural concept of shape-memory polymers (SMP) is based on two key components: covalent or physical crosslinks (hard domains) determining the permanent shape and switching domains fixing the temporary shape as well as determining the switching temperature Tsw. In conventional thermoplastic SMP hard and switching domains determining segments are combined in one macromolecule. In this paper we report on binary polymer blends from two different multiblock copolymers, whereby the first one provides the segments forming hard domains and the second one the segments forming the switching domains. A poly(alkylene adipate) mediator segment is incorporated in both multiblock copolymers to promote their miscibility as the hard segment poly(p-dioxanone) (PPDO) and the switching segment poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) are non-miscible. All polymer blends investigated showed excellent shape-memory properties. The melting point associated to the PCL switching domains Tm,PCL is almost independent of the weight ratio of the two blend components. At the same time the mechanical properties can be varied systematically. In this way complex synthesis of new materials can be avoided. Its biodegradability, the variability of mechanical properties and a Tsw around body temperature are making this binary blend system an economically efficient, suitable candidate for diverse biomedical applications. |

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.
