Star-shaped poly(epsilon-caprolactone)s are functionalized by various dienes (furan and anthracene) and a dienophile (maleimide), and the kinetics of network formation by melt-blending is compared for both DielsAlder adducts. When curing at 60 degrees C, the anthracenemaleimide network forms more rapidly and gives rise to a more crosslinked material than with the furanmaleimide adduct. Shape-memory properties of the networks are compared in terms of DielsAlder adduct stability. Both materials exhibit excellent fixity and recovery ratios, but the relatively low retro DielsAlder temperature of the furanmaleimide adduct perturbs the mechanical stability of the network during cyclic tensile testing between 0 and 60 degrees C, whereas the anthracenemaleimide adduct is shown to be stable up to 150 degrees C.
