Shape memory properties of mesogen-jacketed liquid crystalline polymers based on vinylterephthalic acid
Four kinds of mesogen-jacketed liquid crystalline polymers (PBPCS
PMPCS
PDCHVT
PbiPCS) based on vinylterephthalic acid have been synthesized via free radical polymerization. The results of TGA and DMA demonstrate that they all have good thermal stability
and the higher rigidity of the end group
and the greater rigidity of the corresponding polymer sheet in the temperature range of 30-80℃. Through shape memory angle recovery tests
the results indicate that all mesogen-jacketed liquid crystalline polymer sheets have good shape memory fixation ratios close to 100%. The shape memory recovery effect is related to the end group of polymer side chain. When the end groups of side chain are cyclohexyl and P-butoxy phenyl (corresponding polymers are PBPCS and PDCHVT)
the polymer sheets demonstrate good shape memory properties
shape memory recovery ratios are 87% and 100%
respectively. PDCHVT fiber have been prepared by melt spinning
the shape memory properties of PDCHVT fiber have been analyzed by DMA shape memory cycle test
the results show that the fiber exhibits stable and excellent shape memory effect.
