Figure 3

(a)Schematic illustration of the process of shape-memory property. (b) The change of the length of the shape-memory conduit with adding physiological saline. (c)The SEM images of different stages of the deformation. (d)The confocal laser scanning microscope image of the coumarin-6/MPEG-PLA nanoparticles in conduits. (e) Equilibrium swelling properties of the porous conduits at original and inflation state. Results are mean ± standard error of mean.
