Abstract: Three-dimensional (3D) printing has revolutionized the design and production of customized scaffolds, but the minimally in
vasive implantation of 3D-printed structures into the human body remains challenging. This has prompted the exploration of
innovative materials and technical solutions. Shape-memory polymers, as advanced intelligent materials, exhibit considerable
potential in minimally invasive surgical applications. Herein, we developed a novel thermosetting shape-memory polymer,
poly(L-lactic acid)-trimethylene carbonate-glycolic acid (PLLA-TMC-GA), for the fabrication of bioengineered scaffolds with
body temperature-activated shape-memory functionality. We comprehensively evaluated the mechanical properties, thermal
stability, shape-memory capabilities, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and 3D printing performance of PLLA-TMC-GA
terpolymers with various compositions. The results indicate that PLLA-TMC-GA exhibits exceptional shape-memory perfor
mance, adjustable material properties, favorable biocompatibility, and the potential for controlled biodegradation and reab
sorption. The use of PLLA-TMC-GA as a biodegradable shape-memory polymer allows the reduction of implant volume,
simplifies implantation, and enables on-demand activation at body temperature. These characteristics present new opportuni
ties for the advancement of minimally invasive surgical techniques.
