Abstract: | A series of biodegradable poly(oxyethylene-b-butylene adipate) ionomers (POBAi) were prepared by two-step in situ polymerization using adipic acid, 1,4-butanediol and mixed monomers of bis(poly(oxyethylene)) sulfonated dimethyl fumarate. The chemical composition of these POBAi was ascertained by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The objective of this study was to investigate the shape memory effect of POBAi containing ionomer compared to non ionic POBA. It was observed that POBA5.0i showed a good shape memory effect than that of POBA 2.5 mol% or none of ionic group due to much physical cross-linking point by rich ionic group. Stress-induced phase transition was investigated during the shape deformation and recovery process using a wide-angle X-ray diffractometer (WAXD). The POBA crystal phase transition from β- to α-form was observed in all POBA samples by either thermal treatment or physical drawing. The α-form crystal did not recover to the initial β-form during the recovery process because the monoclinic α-form crystal is structurally more stable than the orthorhombic β-form crystal. |
