A Multiple Shape Memory Hydrogel Induced by Reversible Physical Interactions at Ambient Condition.

ABSTRACT: A novel multiple shape memory hydrogel is fabricated based on two reversible physical interactions. The multiple shape memory property is endowed by a simple treatment of soaking in NaOH or NaCl solutions to form chitosan microcrystal or chain-entanglement crosslinks as temporary junctions.
