Smart Materials Applications for Pediatric Cardiovascular Devices

“Smart Materials” are materials that change their shape, color, or size in response to an externally applied stimulus. While smart materials have already made a tremendous impact on our lives through their applications in liquid crystal displays, headphones, fuel injection systems, flexible cell phone antennas, and many other commercial products, they also have the potential to help many pediatric patients. This review focuses on with the present and potential applications of shape memory alloys, piezoelectric materials, and the relatively newer class of materials called magnetostrictive and ferromagnetic shape memory alloys in the design of pediatric cardiovascular devices.
