What does the future hold for Nitinol? In this chapter, Tom speculates about the potential of shape memory applications, R-phase, and such emerging technologies as thin-film constructs, and porous Nitinol. Read on for more… Read more »
In this paper from the proceedings of proceedings of SPIE, Tom Duerig, Dieter Stoeckel, and David Johnson presents some basic information on the properties of superelasticity and shape memory exhibited by Nitinol. The authors describe vascular applications including stents and filters, and some testing and characterization techniques applicable to such devices. This paper is notable in its early description of novel thin film based components fabricated from Nitinol. Read more »
