Shape memory alloys: Properties and biomedical applications

Abstract: Shape memory alloys provide new insights for the design of biomaterials in bioengineering for the design of artificial organs and advanced surgical instruments, since they have specific characteristics and unusual properties. This article will examine (a) the four properties of shape memory alloys, (b) medical applications with high potential for improving the present and future quality of life, and (c) concerns regarding the biocompatibility properties of nickel-titanium alloys. In particular, the long-term c… Show more

“…In the superelastic effect, the transformation occurs between the austenitic phase and the stress-induced martensitic phase due to the loading and unloading cycle. The recoverable strain for a mono-crystalline sample of SMA can reach 10% [52]. The superelastic effect is illustrated by the mechanical cycle shown in Figure 3.9.…”

“…Of the two metal elements in NiTi alloys, titanium is well recognized to be biocompatible with superb long-term corrosion resistance. In contrast to Ti, Ni release from the surface of NiTi implants has been a concerning issue because the dissolution and concentration of Ni ions or wear debris above a certain amount causes some allergic reaction and biocompatibility problems including pneumonia, chronic sinusitis and rhinitis, nostril and lung cancer for patients (Mantovani 2000;Kapanen, Ryhanen et al 2001;Machado and Savi 2003). However, most of in vivo studies of NiTi implantation and in vitro experiments exhibited good biocompatibility of this material (Castleman, Motzkin et al 1976;Ryhaenen, Kallioinen et al 1998;Kapanen, Ryhanen et al 2001).…”
