Applications of Shape Memory Polymers in Surgery

To develop a novel suturing thread that would untie or tie itself into a knot autonomously. The outcome of this project would be used in conjunction with other ongoing medical robotics project to enable miniature robotic manipulators to be inserted into the human body non-invasively or minimally invasively to perform therapeutic intervention.
