    • Solvent depression of transition temperature to selectively stimulate actuation of shape memory polymer foams 
      Boyle, Anthony; Hearon, Keith; Maitland, Duncan J.; Nash, Landon D.; Wilson, Thomas S. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2021-09-07)
      An embodiment of the invention is a shape memory polymer (SMP) foam designed to recover its original shape through exposure to a solvent. Thermo-responsive SMPs are polymers designed to maintain a programmed secondary shape ...
    • Stented Artery Biomechanics: A Computational and In Vivo Analysis of Stent Design and Pathobiological Response 
      Timmins, Lucas Howard (2011-08-08)
      Vascular stents have become a standard for treating atherosclerosis due to distinct advantages in trauma and cost with other surgical techniques. Unfortunately, the therapy is hindered by the risk of a new blockage (termed ...
    • Surface modification of polymer foams using plasma 
      Nash, Landon D.; Maitland, Duncan J.; Docherty, Nicole; Wilson, Thomas S.; Small, Ward IV; Ortega, Jason; Singhal, Pooja (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2020-09-22)
      An embodiment includes a system comprising: a monolithic shape memory polymer (SMP) foam having first and second states; wherein the SMP foam includes: (a) polyurethane, (b) an inner half portion having inner reticulated ...
    • Ultra low density biodegradable shape memory polymer foams with tunable physical properties 
      Singhal, Pooja; Wilson, Thomas S.; Cosgriff-hernandez, Elizabeth; Maitland, Duncan J. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2017-12-12)
      Compositions and/or structures of degradable shape memory polymers (SMPs) ranging in form from neat/unfoamed to ultra low density materials of down to 0.005 g/cc density. These materials show controllable degradation rate, ...
