Shape-memory polymers are an emerging class of active polymers that have dual-shape capability. They can change their shape in a predefined way from shape A to shape B when exposed to an appropriate stimulus. While shape B is given by the initial processing step, shape A is determined by applying a

Block co-polymers PCTBVs (M n of 36,300e65,300 g/mol, T m of 39e40 and 142 C) containing hyperbranched three-arm poly(3-caprolactone) (PCL) as switching segment and microbial polyester PHBV as crystallizable hard segment were designed as biodegradable shape-memory polymer (SMP) for fast selfexpandab
