• cross-linking of the hydroxy groups on CDs could extend the molecular/material design. As the di-isocyanate macromonomer was used for long axle components, the coverage ratio of CDs in this system was 3–5%, which was significantly lower than those of other systems in 2020. The mechanical properties of

This macromonomer 5 showed an LCST effect after complexation of the vinyl end group with

The molecular weight of macromonomers generally ranges between 1000

Successful macromonomer formation was confirmed by the appearance of the new peaks at around 6.15 (d), 6.50 (t) and 6.75 (d) ppm for the acrylate and 6.15 (s) and 6.45 (s) ppm for methacrylate groups, respectively

These results are consistent with the literature data for the thermal initiated polymerization that gives a difference by a factor of approximately 5 in the

• polymerization rates at room temperature [30]. The cross-linking capability of the oligomers increased with the molecular weight of the macromonomer as a result of the increased flexibility of the longer chains. Therefore, PSU-DA-4000 displays a slightly higher conversion and a faster rate of polymerization
