Thermoset polymers show favorable material properties, while bringing about environmental pollution due to non-reprocessing and unrecyclable. Diels–Alder (DA) chemistry or reversible exchange boronic ester bonds have been employed to fabricate recycled polymers with covalent adaptable networks (CANs). Herein, a novel type of CANs with multiple dynamic linkers (DA chemistry and boronic ester bonds) was firstly constructed based on a linear copolymer of styrene and furfuryl methacrylate and boronic ester crosslinker. Thermoplastic polyurethane is introduced into the CANs to give a semi Interpenetrating Polymer Networks (semi IPNs) to enhance the properties of the CANs. We describe the synthesis and dynamic properties of semi IPNs. Because of the DA reaction and transesterification of boronic ester bonds, the topologies of semi IPNs can be altered, contributing to the reprocessing, self-healing, welding, and shape memory behaviors of the produced polymer. Through a microinjection technique, the cut samples of the semi IPNs can be reshaped and mechanical properties of the recycled samples can be well-restored after being remolded at 190 °C for 5 min.

Shape-memory hydrogels (SMH) are multifunctional, actively-moving polymers of interest in biomedicine. In loosely crosslinked polymer networks, gelatin chains may form triple helices, which can act as temporary net points in SMH, depending on the presence of salts. Here, we show programming and initiation of the shape-memory effect of such networks based on a thermomechanical process compatible with the physiological environment. The SMH were synthesized by reaction of glycidylmethacrylated gelatin with oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) α,ω-dithiols of varying crosslinker length and amount. Triple helicalization of gelatin chains is shown directly by wide-angle X-ray scattering and indirectly via the mechanical behavior at different temperatures. The ability to form triple helices increased with the molar mass of the crosslinker. Hydrogels had storage moduli of 0.27–23 kPa and Young’s moduli of 215–360 kPa at 4 °C. The hydrogels were hydrolytically degradable, with full degradation to water-soluble products within one week at 37 °C and pH = 7.4. A thermally-induced shape-memory effect is demonstrated in bending as well as in compression tests, in which shape recovery with excellent shape-recovery rates Rr close to 100% were observed. In the future, the material presented here could be applied, e.g., as self-anchoring devices mechanically resembling the extracellular matrix.
