(2017-04-26)Shape memory polymer (SMP) foams have been developed for various embolic applications. These polyurethane materials can be deformed and stored in a secondary shape, from which they can recover their primary shape after ...
-
(2017-05-05)Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are a class of materials that can be programmed into a secondary, metastable geometry and subsequently stimulated to return to their original geometry. These biocompatible materials enable the ...
