Feasibility of Crosslinked Acrylic Shape Memory Polymer for a Thrombectomy Device
Figure 6
Dynamic mechanical response of the four copolymers, storage modulus (a), loss modulus (b), and tan delta (c). In panel (a), the lowest point of the curve (i.e., the rubbery modulus) increased as a function of increasing crosslinker. Additionally, an increase in the temperature that corresponds to loss modulus peak and tan delta peak in panels (b) and (c), respectively, was observed as a result of increasing crosslinker.
