An ionically cross-linked syndiotactic polypropylene (ix-sPP) was synthesized by subsequent grafting of maleic anhydride (MA) to the polymer followed by compounding with ZnO. The polymer network was investigated by X-ray scattering, transmission electron microscopy, and various thermal and mechanical analyses. The optimized polymer network with 1 wt % MA grafting and 20 wt % ZnO exhibits a crystal melting temperature of 125 degrees C and rubber elastic behavior up to 203 degrees C and becomes a viscous polymer melt at higher temperatures. This process is fully reversible. Further, ix-sPP is an exceptionally stable ionic polymer network that matches the stability of the respective covalently cross-linked polymer in terms of shape memory properties. Additionally, the ionic cross-linking affords thermoplastic processability and shape memory assisted self-healing.
