  Thermo-Responsive Polymer Blends for Minimally Invasive Medical Procedures

  By Tanmay Mehta, Anil Bhattad, Anup Patil

  Abstract: Thermo-responsive polymer blends have become a key new class of biomaterials for the minimally invasive medical procedure. They offer precision, flexibility and greater patient safety. These smart materials undergo a change of physical/ mechanical properties relative to temperature difference in the body, limiting tissue trauma and increasing effectiveness of the procedure. Their adjustable sol-gel behavior, shape-memory effects and reversible volume change provides an opportunity for their precise delivery through catheters, …
