Perspectives. Novel crosslinked polyurethanes as shape-memory materials

Perspectives. Novel crosslinked polyurethanes as shape-memory materials 

You never know when you are making a memory. (Rickie Lee Jones) 

but do we really desire to remember all our memories I do not think so . But this does not apply here to our research in shape memory polyurethanes. 

A relatively new and exciting application for polymers is as shape memory materials. Therefore, one of the objectives which we will continue to follow in the immediate future will be to focus on novel crosslinked shape-memory polyurethanes. 

Recently we have done a series of preliminary studies on this topic. Here we report only a few particular aspects of our research. More complete details are given in one of our most recent works (2010) [63].
