Shape memory behaviour of HA-g-PDLLA nanocomposites prepared via in situ polymerization

Abstract: The shape memory properties of hydroxyapatite-graft-poly(D,L-lactide) (HA-g-PDLLA) nanocomposites were investigated in the present study. Hybrid nanocomposites with various HA proportions (5, 10, 15 and 25 wt%) were prepared via in situ grafting polymerization. It is found that the nanocomposites exhibit various shape memory (SM) performances with different HA loadings. Excellent shape memory properties were found for HA-g-PDLLA nanocomposites with 15 wt% inorganic HA proportions, observed through a well-estab… Show more

“…For many physically crosslinked SMP systems such as thermoplastic polyurethane SMPs, the netpoints are microscopic phases or domains corresponding to the hard segments. Interesting variants are the so-called nanoparticle tethered SMP systems with linear polymer chains grafted onto nanoparticles [37,[42][43][44]. For this type of systems, the nanoparticles alone do not establish the necessary network since the other ends of the grafted chains remain free.…”

“…However, researchers have recently been adding biocompatible inorganics to polymer networks in order to obtain more biofriendly properties. For example, when researchers added the bone mineral-mimicking hydroxyapatite (HA) to a poly(D,L-lactide) (PDLLA) network, they not only validated a SMPINC with fully explored biocompatibility but also showed a network with significantly increased shape recovery ratios of up to 99.5%, depending on the ratio of HA to PDLLA [99,100]. HA has also been used in a growth factor delivery system, where the HA loading of the chemically crosslinked poly(ε-caprolactone) (c-PCL) was used to create uniform pore sizes in the smart network [101].…”

“…From remote actuation [124,138], to electrically conductive networks [42,[139][140][141] and all the way to enhanced compatibility within the biological space [99,100], SMPINCs have demonstrated the value of the addition of inorganic particles to a variety of shape memory polymer networks. In this new space of imparting added functionality to shape memory polymers, researchers are continuing to demonstrate innovation in the creation of smart materials that respond to external stimuli.…”

“…Common technologies widely employed for the preparation of nanostructured systems are in situ polymerization, solvent mixing, and melt‐mixing . However, the last one remains the most convenient for the mass production of nanocomposites given its adaptability to available industrial equipments and, from the environmental point of view, for the lack of solvents.…”
