Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) blends photo-curable and thermal activated shape-memory polymers (SMPs), with different activation temperature (Tswitch), have been synthesized and characterized. PEG blends with different molecular weights were chain-end functionalized with isocyanate ethyl methacrylate and photo-cured with UV lamp. Degree of cross-linking of the blend network, determined by gel content measurement, resulted as higher than 95%. The thermal and thermomechanical properties of these SMPs PEG blends were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical analysis. The shape-memory properties of the networks were quantified using thermomechanical three-point bending experiments and showed strain fixity rates higher than 99% and a minimum strain recovery ratio of 82%.
