Porous shape memory polymers (SMPs) include foams, scaffolds, meshes, and other polymeric substrates that possess porous three-dimensional macrostructures. Porous SMPs exhibit active structural and volumetric transformations and have driven investigations in fields ranging from biomedical engineering to aerospace engineering to the clothing industry. The present review article examines recent developments in porous SMPs, with focus given to structural and chemical classification, methods of characterization, and applications. We conclude that the current body of literature presents porous SMPs as highly interesting smart materials with potential for industrial use.
多孔形状记忆聚合物(SMPs)包括泡沫、支架、网和其他具有多孔三维宏观结构的聚合物基材。多孔SMPs表现出活跃的结构和体积转变,并推动了从生物医学工程到航空航天工程再到服装行业等领域的研究。本文综述探讨了多孔SMPs的最新进展,重点关注结构和化学分类、表征方法及应用。我们得出结论,当前的文献表明多孔SMPs是极具吸引力的智能材料,具有工业应用潜力。
