Modification of Shape Memory Polymers using Hydrogenated Methylene Diphenyl Diisocyanate
(2015-09-24)
A new device based on porous, stimulus-responsive materials is being developed for the treatment of brain aneurysms. Shape memory polymer (SMP) foams can be heated above their transition temperature (Ttrans) and crimped ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Shape Memory Polymer Foams with Improved Mechanical Properties
(2015-09-24)
Vascular aneurysms are a significant source of morbidity and mortality, affecting 3 to 5 million Americans annually. Current treatments often require either highly invasive strategies to surgically occlude the aneurysm or ...
