Thermomechanical data of polyurethane shape memory polymer: Considering varying compositions.

ABSTRACT: This article presents data from the investigation of the thermal characteristics and mechanical behaviors of twelve different compositions of a polyurethane shape memory polymer (SMP). Each of the SMP compositions has a unique molar ratio of three monomers: (i) hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), (ii) N,N,N',N'-Tetrakis(2-Hydroxypropyl)ethylenediamine (HPED), and (iii) Triethanolamine (TEA). The thermal characteristic datasets for each composition include the glass transition temperatures, as obtained from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), and the thermal degradation thresholds, as found from thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The mechanical behaviors of the SMPs are represented by the failure stresses and strains, as obtained by cyclic tensile tes
