Low density shape memory polymer foams hold significant interest in the biomaterials community for
their potential use in minimally invasive embolic biomedical applications. The unique shape memory
behavior of these foams allows them to be compressed to a miniaturized form, which can be delivered
to an anatomical site via a transcatheter process and thereafter actuated to embolize the desired area.
Previous work in this field has described the use of a highly covalently crosslinked polymer structure
for maintaining excellent mechanical and shape memory properties at the application-specific ultralow
densities
