Definitions

  • the present invention describes a polymeric material that exhibits a sharp dependency of its tensile strength in relation to two external stimuli.
  • SMP shape memory polymers
  • the hard segment is typically crystalline, with a defined melting point
  • the soft segment is typically amorphous, with a defined glass transition temperature.
  • the hard segment is amorphous and has a glass transition temperature rather than a melting point.
  • the soft segment is crystalline and has a melting point rather than a glass transition temperature. The melting point or glass transition temperature of the soft segment is substantially less than the melting point or glass transition temperature of the hard segment.
  • the material When the SMP is heated above the melting point or glass transition temperature of the hard segment, the material can be shaped.
  • This (original) shape can be memorized by cooling the SMP below the melting point or glass transition temperature of the hard segment.
  • the shaped SMP When the shaped SMP is cooled below the melting point or glass transition temperature of the soft segment while the shape is deformed, that (temporary) shape is fixed.
  • the original shape is recovered by heating the material above the melting point or glass transition temperature of the soft segment but below the melting point or glass transition temperature of the hard segment.
  • the material In another method for setting a temporary shape, the material is deformed at a temperature lower than the melting point or glass transition temperature of the soft segment, resulting in stress and strain being absorbed by the soft segment.
  • the thermal shape memory effect When the material is heated above the melting point or glass transition temperature of the soft segment, but below the melting point (or glass transition temperature) of the hard segment, the stresses and strains are relieved and the material returns to its original shape.
  • Properties that describe the shape memory capabilities of a material are the shape recovery of the original shape and the shape fixity of the temporary shape.
  • SMPs Other physical properties of SMPs other than the ability to memorize shape are significantly altered in response to external changes in temperature and stress, particularly at the melting point or glass transition temperature of the soft segment. These properties include the elastic modulus, hardness, flexibility, vapor permeability, damping, index of refraction, and dielectric constant.
  • the elastic modulus (the ratio of the stress in a body to the corresponding strain) of an SMP can change by a factor of up to 200 when heated above the melting point or glass transition temperature of the soft segment. Also, the hardness of the material changes dramatically when the soft segment is at or above its melting point or glass transition temperature. When the material is heated to a temperature above the melting point or glass transition temperature of the soft segment, the damping ability can be up to five times higher than a conventional rubber product. The material can readily recover to its original molded shape following numerous thermal cycles, and can be heated above the melting point of the hard segment and reshaped and cooled to fix a new original shape.
  • a temperature at which a given material shows a shape memory effect or any other change of a given physical property is defined as trigger temperature or triggering temperature.
  • polymers used to prepare hard and soft segments of SMPs include various polyethers, polyacrylates, polyamides, polysiloxanes, polyurethanes, polyether amides, polyurethane/ureas, polyether esters, and urethane/butadiene copolymers. See, for example, U.S. Patent No. 5,506,300 to Ward et al.; U.S. Patent No. 5,145,935 to Hayashi; U.S. Patent No. 5,665,822 to Bitler et al.; and Gorden, "Applications of Shape Memory Polyurethanes," Proceedings of the First International Conference on Shape Memory and Superelastic Technologies, SMST International Committee, pp. 115-19 (1994).
  • a temperature increase to trigger the shape memory effect is associated with certain disadvantages. Due to the statistic nature of polymer materials the shape memory effect is triggered rather over a broad temperature range than at a defined temperature. As this temperature interval ranges up to 20 0 C, the use of such materials is under certain circumstances and for specific applications limited, especially when the temperature increase is due to the increase from room temperature to the temperature of a living body.
  • a thermal shape memory effect (or a thermally induced change of physical properties) is disadvantageous in fields of application requiring sterilization processes.
  • the device to be sterilized is treated at a temperature of 55 0 C, which might be well beyond the triggering temperature.
  • all of the prior art shape memory polymers have a one-way shape memory effect, i. e. the temporary shape is not recovered when the polymer is cooled below the triggering temperature, an unwanted triggering of the shape memory effect associated with an unwanted deformation might result.
  • Prior art shape memory polymers are described for example in US 5,762,630. However, these polymers exhibit certain disadvantages. As they exhibit a glass transition at a temperature of 35 0 C they will soften considerably when exposed to temperatures exceeding 35 0 C. As temperatures exceeding 35 °C can easily be reached during transport conditions or during sterilization processes, it is very likely, that articles made of this polymer will loose their dimensional integrity.
  • compositions comprising the polymer material as well as methods for the preparation of the polymer material.

  • the different blocks (segments may be selected among the materials defined below.
  • the specific block copolymer in accordance with the present invention is characterized by the fact the material, due to the specific structure, is responsive to a temperature stimulus and to a further stimulus so as to provide a more reliable (sharper) triggering process and in a more pronounced property change.
  • the first stimulus as defined above is a temperature stimulus, which however alone would no be sufficient to induce the desired change of properties in the desired way, i.e. within a rather short period of time, in particular in view of the requirement that the polymer material in accordance with the present invention must be able to be subjected to a conventional sterilization process, without detrimental effect on the material. Therefore a second stimulus is required, which, in accordance with the present invention is the bringing the polymer material of the present invention into contact with low molecular weight compounds (in the following "small molecule stimulus"). These low molecular weight compounds are taken up by the polymer material, inducing, together with the temperature change a sharp/drastic change o physical properties.
