We synthesized a range of polyurethanes (PUs) which can be either thermoset or thermoplastic, determined by the molar ratio of diisocyanate to diols (NCO/OH). These PUs are not only soft, but also can be reshaped around room temperature either permanently or temporarily. Although these PUs are produ...
