“…On the contrary, if the tying force is too weak, it may result in scars and even non-union. Therefore, the shape memory effect of this novel suture provides a potential therapeutic strategy that doctors could suture wounds in its slack elongated state, and then the suture would be triggered by body temperature to return to its original shape and the contraction of suture makes the knot tight in an adapted force (Zhao et al, 2019).…”

“…As time progressed in the modern age, humans were not satisfied with the available materials as some desirable characteristics of products cannot be satisfied by monolithic materials. Beside the product characteristics, economic requirements and the drive for miniaturization are compelling factors that promoted the gradual transition from monolithic to composites (Tasdemir and Kiziltas, 2009;Sharma et al, 2018;Zhao et al, 2019;Panaitescu et al, 2019;Henning et al, 2019;Echeverria et al, 2019). The miniaturization movement objectively drove progress in composite development from macrocomposite fabrication to micro-composite development.…”

“…The next important milestone in the development of SMPs is the application of heat shrinkable tubes and heat shrinkable films in the 1960s [11][12][13][14]. Nowadays, after decades of development, SMPs have been successfully used in many fields, such as aerospace [15][16][17][18], biomedical [19][20][21][22][23], and smart appliances [24]. Compared with shape memory alloys (SMAs) and shape memory ceramics (SMCs), SMPs have the advantages of lower density, higher strain (up to 800% [25]), excellent processability, good chemical stability, biocompatibility [20,22], and an adjustable biodegradation rate [26].…”
