Biodegradable and biocompatiblematerials with shape-memory effects (SMEs) are attractive for use as minimally invasive medical devices.
2
To identify the most suitable biocompatiblematerials, typical instrument shapes and mating parts, such as dovetails and screws, were designed and produced.

Fluorescent silica nanoparticles are reported to be highly stable and biocompatiblematerials with high water solubility, which make them ideal candidates for biological applications.
