Rapid water-triggered hardening of ethanol-softened shape memory polyurethane for shape fixation and minimally invasive biomedical applications

This study presents a rapid water-triggered hardening strategy for ethanol-softened shape memory polyurethanes (SMPU), including thermoset foams and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) films/membranes. The SMPU foam, once softened by 70 % ethanol, becomes highly compressible for minimally invasive deli...
