abstract = {In shape-memory polymers, changes in shape are mostly induced by heating, and exceeding a specific switching temperature, Tswitch.,If polymers cannot be warmed up by heat transfer using a hot liquid or gaseous medium, noncontact triggering will be required.,In this article, the magnetically induced shape-memory effect of,composites from magnetic nanoparticles and thermoplastic shapememory polymers is introduced. A polyetherurethane (TFX) and a biodegradable multiblock copolymer (PDC) with poly(p-dioxanone) as hard segment and poly(-caprolactone) as soft segment,were investigated as matrix component. Nanoparticles consisting,of an iron(III)oxide core in a silica matrix could be processed into both polymers. A homogeneous particle distribution in TFX could be shown. Compounds have suitable elastic and thermal properties for the shape-memory functionalization. Temporary shapes of TFX compounds were obtained by elongating at increased temperature,and subsequent cooling under constant stress. Cold-drawing of,PDC compounds at 25°C resulted in temporary fixation of the mechanical deformation by 50–60%. The shape-memory effect of,both composite systems could be induced by inductive heating in,an alternating magnetic field (f  258 kHz; H  30 kAm1). The,maximum temperatures achievable by inductive heating in a specific,magnetic field depend on sample geometry and nanoparticle,content. Shape recovery rates of composites resulting from magnetic,triggering are comparable to those obtained by increasing the environmental temperature.},
