“…Both processing protocols yielded wires having widely separated two-step transformations from martensite to austenite involving the interme- The special ability of TMDSC to provide increased information about polymer transitions has resulted in its use by several other research groups to investigate biomedical materials. Studies have reported the formation of dextran hydrogels by crystallization (Stenekes, Talsma, & Hennink, 2001), observed the polymer transitions at different heating rates for dental mouth guard materials (Meng et al, 2007) characterized thermoresponsive hydrogel copolymers designed for medical device applications (Jones, Lorimer, McCoy, & Gorman, 2008), analysed biomaterials derived from silk fibroin-hyaluronic acid hydrogels (Hu, Lu, et al, 2010) and silk-tropoelastin protein systems (Hu, Wang, Rnjak, Weiss, & Kaplan, 2010), investigated ultrasonication-induced and naturally self-assembled silk fibroin-wool keratin hydrogel biomaterials (Vu et al, 2016), characterized reversible pH-sensitive chitosan-based hydrogels (Iglesias, Galbis, Valencia, De-Paz, & Galbis, 2018) and assessed the use of a multifunctional monomer as a co-initiator and crosslinker to provide strengthening with enhanced hydrolytic stability for dental adhesives (Song et al (2020). Righetti (2017) has published a review article about the complexity of the crystallization process for polymers, with comments about the phenomena of "reversing" and "reversible" melting.…”
