Provided herein are high-temperature shape memory photopolymers (HTSMP) and methods of making. The HTSMP has flame retardance and recovery stress of greater than 30 MPa. The HTSMP is formed from a polyacrylate and about 5 wt % to 15 wt % of a phosphorus containing photo-initiator (TPO), wherein the polyacrylate is polymerized by UV exposure of an acrylate monomer and the TPO.
