Polymers that exhibit shape-memory effect (SME) are an important class of materials in medicine, especially for minimally invasive deployment of devices. Professor Subbu Venkatraman and his group from ...
With 4D printing, the objects can change shape or properties using external stimuli such as temperature, light, pH, magnetic field, electricity, and moisture. Additionally, the changes in shape or ...
MedShape (Atlanta, GA) has been granted a U.S. patent for a shape memory polymer-based technology used in orthopedic applications. Shape memory polymers can "remember" more than one shape and ...
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Shape Memory Medical Inc., innovator of shape memory polymer for endovascular applications, today announced that its proprietary platform has been used to treat its ...
Researcher Ken Gall uses this thermomechanical test frame to determine the maximum possible shape change of his team's shape-memory polymer. Shape-memory alloys and polymers are the contortionists of ...
Researchers have developed a soft polymer material, called magnetic shape memory polymer, that uses magnetic fields to transform into a variety of shapes. The material could enable a range of new ...
While shape-memory materials do have some interesting potential applications, many of them require the application of heat in order to change shape – and that could cause problems, in ...
(MENAFN- EIN Presswire) EINPresswire/ -- Minimally invasive medical implants require materials that can be delivered in compact form and recover their functional shape once inside the body. However, ...
A recent study in Nature Communications presents a new class of shape memory polymer (SMP) surfaces embedded with nanotips. These surfaces feature tunable nanoscale roughness, enabling adjustable dry ...
