## Abstract A series of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)/poly(ϵ‐caprolactone) (PCL) containing biodegradable poly(ether ester urethane)s, covering a wide range of compositions, were synthesized and characterized. The synthesis consisted of a two‐step process. During the first step, the ring‐opening react
Memory effects of several copolymers of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) were illustrated with photos, determined with shrinkage experiments and characterized by the recovery of samples to their original figures. Copolymers of appropriate composition could undertake
This paper describes a shape memory behavior of graft copolymers poly(methyl methacrylate)-graftpoly(ethylene glycol) (PMMA-g-PEG). In shape memory test, the sample was deformed from its original shape to a temporary shape above glass transition temperature (T g ), cooled below T g to fix the tempor
