Thermal Responsive Shape Memory Polymers for Biomedical Applications, in: Biomedical Engineering - Frontiers and Challenges, Reza Fazel-Rezai (Ed.), ISBN: 978-953-307-309-5, InTech, Available from: <a href="http://www.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/thermal-responsive-shape-memory-polymers-for-biomedical-applications">http://www.intechopen.com/articles/show/title/thermal-responsive-shape-memory-polymers-for-biomedical-applications</a></p>

dc.description.abstractSummary: Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are a type of polymeric materials that can be programmed to memorize a less-constrained shape/configuration, subsequently assume a strained temporary shape/configuration, and then revert to the memorized shape/configuration upon triggering by an external stimulus(Lendlein & Kelch, 2002). Such responsiveness to stimuli is reminiscent of the adaptive responses universally observed in living organisms. Based on the nature of the external stimulus, SMPs can be categorized into light-responsive SMPs, chemical-responsive SMPs, magnetic field-responsive SMPs, and thermal-responsive SMPs, etc. Thermal-responsive SMPs are one of the most studied systems and will be the focus of this chapter.
