It was found in previous work on the thermomechanical properties of the polyurethane-shape memory polymer foam that the shape fixity and shape recovery become imperfect and that secondary-shape forming appears, depending on the strain-holding conditions. The main factors of the strain-holding conditions which affect the secondary-shape forming are the holding temperature, holding time and holding strain. In the present study, the influence of the strain-holding conditions on the shape recovery and secondary-shape forming was investigated for the polyurethane-shape memory polymer film. It was found that the secondary-shape forming appears markedly if the holding temperature is higher than the glass transition temperature and does not appear if the holding temperature is lower than the glass transition temperature. The rate of secondary-shape forming increases with an increase in the holding time if the holding temperature is higher than the glass transition temperature. The irrecoverable strain increases in proportion to the holding strain.
