Paper Abstract
A series of polymers showing shape memory properties were developed based on polyalkenes derived from cyclooctene
and related structures. These polymeric systems were synthesized via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP)
using a well-defined ruthenium catalyst (Grubbs' type) by varying reaction conditions and proportions. Control over
molecular weight was achieved by the inclusion of a chain transfer agent (CTA) and its influence on the behaviour of the
obtained materials was evaluated. In order to provide them with shape memory behaviour the compounds were subjected
to suitable chemical-thermal treatments and its characterization was accomplished by means of several techniques:
differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), etc. Thus polymers developed
herein could become a different alternative to the most studied and commercially available polyurethane based systems.
