Characterization of thermo-responsive shape memory bio-based thermoplastic polyurethane (SMTPU) for 3D/4D printing applications by Yang Sook Jung, Jaehyeung Park, Sunhee Lee, Eun Joo Shin

“…The resulting SMTPU, which contains bio-polyol in the soft segment, along with a chain extender and isocyanate (4,4-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, MDI), demonstrates excellent shape recoverability even after significant deformation. Atomic force microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction were employed to analyze hydrogen bonding, microphase separation, and crystallinity, providing insights into the interactions between hard segments (HSs) and soft segments (SSs), an extent of phase separation, and a proportion of hydrogen-bonded urethane groups. …”
