Thermally and magnetically stimulated shape memory polyurethane nanocomposites were synthesized for intravascular stent applications. The addition of modified magnetic nanoparticles improved the affinity between the nanocomposites and the PU matrix, resulting in enhanced mechanical properties and shape memory behavior.
Thermally and magnetically stimulated shape memory polyurethane (PU) nanocomposites were synthesized for intravascular stent applications. For this end, Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) were modified with octadecyl isocyanate (OD) to increase their affinity with the PU matrix by formation of the covalent urea linkages. The results showed that the OD-grafted MNPs were replaced instead of carbonyl groups of polycaprolactone (PCL) soft segments in hydrogen bond formation with the urethane linkages. This led to higher phase separation degrees among the soft and hard phases, thereby PCL chains could reveal higher crystallization potential. Mechanical studies showed that the nanocomposites had high mechanical strength, Young's modulus, and elongation at break, which improve their practical applications. The nanocomposites showed thermo-responsive shape memory behavior with a high shape recovery and shape fixity ratios due to the presence of the crystallizable PCL segments. The nanocomposite containing 10 wt% of the OD-grafted MNPs could recover its original shape (during 90s) in a relatively weak alternating magnetic field (350 kHz and 12.9 kA/m). These results indicated that the prepared nanocomposites could be used to normalize the narrowed blood vessels through the remotely and magnetically-controllable restricted shape recovery process.
