Shape Memory Polymeric Materials for Biomedical Applications: An Update

Abstract: Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are emerging smart materials that have the ability to change to a shape and revert to their permanent shape on application of external stimulus. SMPs can be divided into four types based on their permanent shape, elasticity origin, and temporary shape fixing mechanism: chemically cross-linked glassy thermosets, chemically cross-linked semi-crystalline, physically cross-linked glassy copolymers, and physically cross-linked block copolymers. The broad overview of recent developments … Show more

“…Future trends in scaffold approaches show promising opportunities for tissue regeneration in the near future. Early explorations of using 4D materials in scaffold development [162] or gene-activated materials [163] or various advanced scaffolds for dentin-pulp complex regeneration and other innovative trends in regenerative dentistry [6,109,110,[164][165][166][167][168] suggest an incoming boom of this specialty.…”

“…A possible evolution in the fabrication of advanced nanocomposite materials is in the AI control of the physical states of hybrid circuits (solid/liquid) for intelligent adaptive micro-robot implementations. Other important properties of intelligent materials are self-healing [67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81] (as in polymer composites based on graphene and carbon nanotubes (CNT) and PDMS) and the shape memory effect [82][83][84][85][86][87][88] (as in ferroic nanocomposites and nanocomposite hydrogels). AI data processing could be adopted to regenerate micro-and nano-electronic circuits and to enable shape auto-adaptive actions controlling external stimuli.…”

“…[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] In the past decades, various SMPs have been developed and been investigated in biomedical or surgical devices, flexible electronics, smart adhesives, textiles, and so forth. [7,[11][12][13][14][15] Among these SMPs, shape memory polyimides (SMPIs) with adjustable glass transition temperatures (T g ) have attracted extensive attention and investigation because of their excellent mechanical properties, thermal and chemical stabilities, and shape memory performances. [6,7,[16][17][18][19] However, like common polyimides, SMPIs are electrically insulated, which limits their applications.…”
