Abstract

A triple-shape material based on the two crystallizable segments poly(ω‑pentadeca-lactone) and poly(ε-caprolactone) was synthesized by crosslinking star-shaped precursors. A newly developed programming procedure (TSCP2) was applied in order to achieve triple-shape behavior. The application of this modified triple-shape creation procedure enabled triple-shape capability by influencing the crystallization behavior of the two switching segments in these copolymer networks, which partly show no two distinct and separated melting points. The influence of molecular weight and content of the poly(ε-caprolactone) segment on the triple-shape effect programmed by application of TSCP2 was investigated.
