“Using proprietary shape-memory biocompatible polymers, Embolization’s coil devices achieve better vascular occlusion while ...

Frame design influences critical parameters such as radial strength, flexibility, fatigue resistance and conformability to ...

Nitinol is a nearly equiatomic metal alloy of nickel and titanium with unique properties, including superelasticity (also called pseudoelasticity) and shape memory. Superelasticity/ pseudoelasticity ...

Free Recovery: nitinol is deformed at a low temperature, and heated to recover its original shape. Constrained Recovery: The same, except that recovery is rigidly prevented, and thus a stress is ...

Using heat-activated nitinol metal, researchers have devised a reversible, shape-shifting, conical spiral antenna that needs no discrete external actuator. How a special nitinol compound and 3D ...

But that presented a problem: Nitinol and other shape memory alloys conventionally require extensive mechanical processing – known as cold work – to achieve the shape memory effect, and as a result, ...

Materials scientist Andy Lennon had already used nitinol – a shape memory alloy of nickel and titanium, to create coils extending down through a person’s esophagus to assist with heart imaging. Lennon ...

But that presented a problem: Nitinol and other shape memory alloys conventionally require extensive mechanical processing — known as cold work — to achieve the shape memory effect, and as a result ...

Nitinol SMAs Alfa Chemistry has recently announced the launch of their new lines of Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs), Nitinol SMAs, and 3D Printing Alloys. NY, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, May 16, 2024 ...
