Abstract In this work, the –catechol and –thiol modified starch was prepared by the esterification and amino condensation
reaction, then a fully starch based hydrogel was prepared via the thiol-catechol Michael addition reaction. The
starch hydrogel gained shape memory behaviors by coordinate with Fe3+ ions at alkaline condition. 1
H-NMR
had been used to character the structure of the starch derivatives and its character peaks. The hydrogel’s modulus
had also been measured before and after coordinating with Fe3+ ions in linear area and the result showed that
both the hydrogel’s storage modulus and loss modulus kept constant in More >
