Abstract :
[en] Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are smart materials presenting the remarkable property to switch from a temporary shape (stressed) to a permanent shape (relaxed) upon exposure to a stimulus, such as heat or light. SMPs raised a lot of interest, especially for biomedical applications, for the elaboration of suture wires and stents. In the last few years, biodegradable aliphatic polyesters, typically poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(lactide) (PLA) were widely studied for the synthesis of SMPs. This communication aims at reporting a new concept for the synthesis of PCL-based SMPs. In order to meet the increasingly stringent requirements of biomedical applications, a metal-free process is proposed occurring at relatively low temperature, which can be compatible with the presence of a drug during implementation.
