Abstract

In this study, three hydrophobic polymers are investigated as potential adhesives for a shape memory polymer nerve cuff. At room temperature, the adhesive candidate exhibited a maximum lap shear stress of 1.7251 MPa, compared to 0.87641 MPa and 2.1815 MPa for two commercially available biocompatible adhesives.
