Extractable Free Polymer Chains Enhance Actuation Performance of Crystallizable Poly(ε-caprolactone) Networks and Enable Self-Healing

Crosslinking of thermoplastics is a versatile method to create crystallizable polymer networks, which are of high interest for shape-memory actuators. Here, crosslinked poly(ε-caprolactone) thermosets (cPCLs) were prepared from linear starting material, whereby the amount of extractable polymer was...
