Fabrication of thermoplastic polyurethane/polylactide shape-memory blends with tunable optical and mechanical properties via a bilayer structure design

Herein, the shape-memory polymeric materials (SMPs) with tunable morphological structures were fabricated via a bilayer structure design. The bilayers containing pure thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and pure polylactide (PLA) and pure TPU and co-continuous TPU/PLA blend (PTB) were produced by hot l...
