Smart Materials for Biomedical Applications: The Usefulness of Shape-Memory Polymers
Publication . Fernandes, Cristiana; Heggannavar, Geetha B.; Kariduraganavar, Mahadevappa Y.; Mitchell, Geoffrey; Alves, Nuno; Morouço, Pedro
This review describes available smart biomaterials for biomedical applications. Biomaterials have gained special attention because of their characteristics, along with biocompatibility, biodegradability, renewability, and inexpensiveness. In addition, they are also sensitive towards various stimuli such as temperature, light, magnetic, electro, pH and can respond to two or more stimuli at the same time. In this manuscript, the suitability of stimuli-responsive smart polymers was examined, providing examples of its usefulness in the biomedical applications.
