An Extensive Review of Shape Memory Polymers for Biomedical Applications

Shape memory polymer is usually referred to as SMP may be a smart polymer which may take a short lived change from its original shape with the acceptable glass transition temperature and are available back to its original state. This article focuses on the properties of various memory polymer which supports the parameters like Shape memory effect, electro conductivity, stimuli, etc. The aim of this article is to survey a number of the SMP's viz. Polyurethane, PMMA [poly(methyl methacrylate)] and Hybrid Shape memory polymers. Since, the Shape memory polymer are often used for various medical uses where the longer term use of the acceptable electro conductive shape memory polymer is to synthesis a facial mask for the appliance of Facial reconstruction. Overall perspective of this review is to prove the best suited polymer for the utilization in shape memory polymer.
