Shape-memory properties of magnetically active triple-shape nanocomposites based on a grafted polymer network with two crystallizable switching segments

Thermo-sensitive shape-memory polymers (SMP), which are capable of memorizing two or more different shapes, have generated significant research and technological interest.A triple-shape effect (TSE) of SMP can be activated e.g.by increasing the environmental temperature (Tenv), whereby two switching temperatures (Tsw) have to be exceeded to enable
