Resumen:
In recent years shape memory polymers (SMPs) have found growing interests because of their special and unique applications in medical, electronics, high-tech industries as well as daily life1. Among these polymers, thermoplastic segmented polyurethanes (TPU) pose shape-memory properties activated by heating and also excellent chemical stability, potential biocompatibility and biodegradability. In addition, single-domain magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) thatexhibit super-paramagnetic behavior, can be incorporated relatively easily to these TPU, leading to nanocomposite materials (NC) with novel activationmechanisms to recover the original shape. In this sense, Fe3O4 nanoparticles have been found to be suitable for applications such as magnetic resonanceimaging contrast agents and hyperthermia procedures. Thus, the aim of this work is to study effect of Fe3O4 content on the magnetic response and inductiveheating of NC based on a commercial TPU.
