Feasibility of Crosslinked Acrylic Shape Memory Polymer for a Thrombectomy Device

Figure 7

Tensile properties of the four copolymers measured at each copolymer’s loss modulus peak (a) and tan delta peak (b) temperatures. In both temperatures, the strain capacity of the copolymers decreased as a result of increasing crosslinker; however, a more brittle response was observed at tan delta peak temperatures.
