We report the fabrication of graphene oxide (GO) based polyurethane (PU) nanocomposites by a simple method of mixing and their shape memory properties at different temperatures. Both the polymer and the filler were synthesized in the laboratory by simple and easy methods – PU by pre-polymer method and GO by improved graphene oxide synthesis method. High molecular level dispersion of GO platelets within the PU matrix and thus good mechanical properties were maintained by the improved PU/GO interfacial interaction. The structure of the polymer composites was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction studies revealed a highly dispersed morphology of graphene oxide sheets in PU.
