Abstract
A thermoplastic high strain multishape memory polymer can be fabricated using a hemiphasmid side-chain polynorbornene (P1) with hexagonal columnar liquid crystalline (Φ<sub>H</sub> ) phase. Without any chemical crosslinks, P1 can memorize multiple temporary shapes with high strain and exhibit excellent shape fixity and shape recovery. As the building blocks of Φ<sub>H</sub> , the multichain columns in P1 act as robust physical crosslinks.
