The effect of nano-size filler, layered-double-hydroxide (LDH) on shape memory behavior of polyurethane (PU) nanocomposites was evaluated in this report. The shape memory PU matrix was prepared by polycaprolactone diol (PCL diol), 1,4-butane diol (BD) and 4,4’-methylenebis (phenyl isocyanate) (MDI)...
