Abstract
Biodegradable shape-memory polymers (BSMP) have arisen as highly promising materials for biomedical applications due to their valuable properties. Their chemical and structural diversities, low toxicity, biodegradation, and resorption added to their capability to adapt their shape due to their shape-memory property make them excellent materials for many implantable devices. In this chapter, the main characteristics of these materials and their applications in biomedicine are described.
