(2013-04-16)The ultimate goal of this research was to develop a “self-fitting” shape memory polymer (SMP) scaffold for the repair of craniomaxillofacial (CMF) bone defects. CMF defects may be caused by trauma, tumor removal or congenital ...

(2023-03-27)This thesis is composed of two studies. The first study investigates the interfacial properties of alkylated graphene oxide nanosheets using Langmuir-Blodgett techniques. The second study examines the direct ink write (DIW) ...

(2012-08-15)The aim of this work is to develop and validate a continuum model for the simulation of the thermomechanical response of a shape memory polymer (SMP). Rather than integral type viscoelastic model, the approach here is based ...

Shape memory polymer (SMP) foams have been proposed for a variety of medical applications, including brain aneurysm embolization and occlusion of peripheral vascular malformations. While these devices provide significant ...

(2012-10-16)Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are a relatively new class of active materials that can store a temporary shape and return to the original configuration upon application of a stimulus such as temperature. This shape changing ...
