(2020-04-13)3D printing can manufacture polymer components with customized shapes and intricate structures easily without pre-made molds. When fabricated with responsive materials, smart 3D printed components experience shape morphing ...
-
(2010-10-12)Commonly used thermoplastic biodegradable polymers are generally brittle and lack appreciable elasticity at physiological temperature and thereby fail to mimic the elastic nature of many human soft tissues such as blood ...
-
(2017-05-31)Shape memory polymer (SMP) polyurethanes have been proposed for a variety of vascular devices due to their biocompatibility, stimuli-responsiveness, and tunable properties. While this technology shows promise, a primary ...
-
(2012-04-20)SMP foams have unique properties that make them well suited for certain medical applications. SMP foam has the ability to be programmed to “remember” a temporary shape, and once heated can revert back to its original ...
