Abstract
Front Cover: Article 2200693 by Yuancheng Zhang, Peng Fu and co-workers reveals that a semi-crystalline block poly(urethane-urea-amide) elastomers (PUUAs), which are prepared by the copolymerization of isocyanateterminated polyurethane and amino-terminated polyamide-1212, present multiple, reversible two-way and high temperature shape memory effect and have a potential for more complex and changeable applications, such as high temperature sensors, actuators, aerospace equipment, etc.
