Abstract
This chapter discusses the laboratory techniques available to characterize shape-memory polymers in the context of biomedical device applications. It separates the techniques into five categories: structural and chemical, mechanical and thermo-mechanical, surface, biological, and imaging, presenting the relative merits of each. Along with a theoretical and practical background, the chapter leads readers through the process of selecting the most appropriate methods of analysis for any particular material or application. Three illustrative case studies, an analysis of future trends, and a list of industry reference standards are also provided.
