Deskripsi

Few biomaterials are suitable for long-term tissue engineering applications and these examples usually possess limited property scope, can be difficult to process, and are non-responsive to external stimuli. Here, the authors overcome these issues by developing a class of easily processable polyamides with stereo-controlled mechanical properties and high-fidelity shape memory behaviour.
