“…Compared with shape memory metallic alloys and shape memory ceramics, SMPs possess the advantages of light weight, low cost, good processability, high shape deformability and recoverability, and tailored switch temperature [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Since the 1990s, SMPs have been increasingly developed and widely applied in smart textiles and apparels [11,12], intelligent medical devices [13][14][15], and self-deployable structures in spacecrafts [16][17][18][19][20].…”

“…2,23,24 Their shape memory behavior was also studied when replacing and varying the amount of hard segment content. 25 These studies have shown that such materials have potential for biomedical applications, since they exhibit high strain recovery, high glass/rubber modulus ratios, and their glass transition temperatures are in a favorable range for use in the human body. Additionally, the good biocompatibility of polyurethanes is well known (e.g., catheters 26 and heart valves 27 ) and has been studied for these SMPs.…”

“…Nota-se um pico largo, em torno de 20º, que é característico do padrão de MDI utilizado na síntese do polímero [17] , o que evidencia que o material apresenta uma estrutura semicristalina. Na Figura 3, apresenta-se a análise termogravimétrica, mostrando a curva de decomposição do polímero, que ocorre em duas etapas: a primeira etapa de 300 a 400 °C com 65% deixada pela ponta Berkovich, observa-se uma deformação plástica bem definida, sem regiões com deformação desigual, como no caso da ponta canto de cubo.…”
