Shape Memory Polymer Foams for Biomedical Devices
Developed in last decade, the shape memory polymers (SMP) have been gaining widespread attention for new product innovation. They are lightweight, have a high strain/shape recovery ability, are easy to process, and required properties can be tailored for a variety of applications. Recently a number of medical applications have been considered and investigated for polyurethane-based SMP material...
متن کاملA Shape Memory Polymer with Improved Shape Recovery
Thermally actuated shape memory polymers (SMPs) interest, both academically and industrially, due to their ability to memorize a permanent shape that is set during processing and a temporary shape that is later programmed by manipulation above a critical temperature, either Tg or Tm. However, the thermal triggering process for SMPs is usually retarded compared to that of shape memory alloys, be...
متن کاملDynamic cell behavior on shape memory polymer substrates.
Cell culture substrates of defined topography have emerged as powerful tools with which to investigate cell mechanobiology, but current technologies only allow passive control of substrate properties. Here we present a thermo-responsive cell culture system that uses shape memory polymer (SMP) substrates that are programmed to change surface topography during cell culture. Our hypothesis was tha...
متن کاملAnisotropic wrinkle formation on shape memory polymer substrates
In this paper, we demonstrate an assisted self-assembly fabrication method for unidirectional patterns using pre-programmed shape memory polymer (SMP) as the substrate in an organic/ inorganic bi-layer structure. By heating the hybrid structure above the SMP’s shape recovery temperature, the substrate expands because of positive coefficients of thermal expansion in one direction, while in the p...
متن کاملShape-Memory Polymer Composites
The development of shape-memory polymer composites (SMPCs) enables high recovery stress levels as well as novel functions such as electrical conductivity, magnetism, and biofunctionality. In this review chapter the substantial enhancement in mechanical properties of shape-memory polymers (SMPs) by incorporating small amounts of stiff fillers will be highlighted exemplarily for clay and polyhedr...
