In this paper, a series of shape memory polyurethanes (SMPUs) containing polycaprolactone diol (PCL4000),
1,4-butanediol (BDO), and 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) were synthesized using bulk polymerization. Their
thermal properties, thermomechanical properties were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic
mechanical analysis (DMA), and the shape memory effect was also investigated. Moreover, one kind of shape memory
polyurethane fiber was spinned by melting method from these prepared SMPUs and its shape memory properties were
also investigated. The results showed that synthesis of shape memory polyurethane using bulk polymerization can
effectively enhance the properties of polyurethanes, save cost and improve efficiency compared with solution
polymerization.
