Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the variation in the shape memory effect in the Tan Delta output parameter of shape memory polymeric stents, fabricated by the bio-FDM process, during a reversible endothermic cycle with changes in the input parameters. Pure polycaprolactone polymer was directly used in this study. The Damping Factor, or Tan Delta, is a key factor in expressing the shape memory effect of the memory stents. For a more accurate evaluation of this effect, SEM tests, uniaxial tensile tests, and dynamic mechanical and thermal analyses were employed. The Tan Delta of the shape memory stents was approximately 18.81%. Surface morphology changes led to approximately a 14.18% variation in elastic properties, as the dynamic molecular motion and polymer chain constraints resulted in increased pressure. It was found that the fabrication input parameters led to approximately a 20% change in the shape memory effect. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
