PatentDOI
Shape memory polymers
Robert Langer,Andreas Lendlein +1 more
TL;DR: A very broad, additional spectrum of possible applications for intelligent polymers that covers an area from minimally invasive surgery, through high-performance textiles, up to self-repairing plastic components in every kind of transportation vehicles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradable, Elastic Shape Memory Polymers for Potential Biomedical Applications
Andreas Lendlein,Robert Langer +1 more
TL;DR: A group of degradable thermoplastic polymers that are able to change their shape after an increase in temperature enables bulky implants to be placed in the body through small incisions or to perform complex mechanical deformations automatically.
Journal ArticleDOI
Light-induced shape-memory polymers
TL;DR: Polymers containing cinnamic groups can be deformed and fixed into pre-determined shapes—such as elongated films and tubes, arches or spirals—by ultraviolet light illumination and can recover their original shape at ambient temperatures when exposed to ultraviolet light of a different wavelength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shape-memory polymers
Marc Behl,Andreas Lendlein +1 more
TL;DR: Shape-memory polymers as discussed by the authors are an emerging class of active polymers that can change their shape in a predefined way from shape A to shape B when exposed to an appropriate stimulus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multifunctional Shape-Memory Polymers
TL;DR: In this review different concepts for the creation of multifunctionality are derived from the various polymer network architectures of thermally-induced SMP, such as nanocomposites, as well as one-component polymer systems, in which independent functions are integrated.
