Abstract

In the present work, a facile approach was employed to fabricate a UV/heat dual-responsive triple shape memory polymer (SMP) by simply mixing Zn(Mebip)<sub>2</sub>(NTf<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>, a metallosupramolecular unit formed by coordinating 2,6-bis(<italic>N</italic>-methyl-benzimidazolyl)-pyridine (Mebip) ligands to zinc di[bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-imide] (Zn(NTf<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>), into one part of epoxy resin.
