Abstract:
An embodiment includes a system comprising: a monolithic shape memory polymer (SMP) foam having first and second states; wherein the SMP foam includes: (a) polyurethane, (b) an inner half portion having inner reticulated cells defined by inner struts, (c) an outer half portion, having outer reticulated cells defined by outer struts, surrounding the inner portion in a plane that provides a cross-section of the SMP foam, (d) hydroxyl groups chemically bound to outer surfaces of both the inner and outer struts. Other embodiments are discussed herein.

Claim (Index 18):
A method comprising:\n locating a monolithic shape memory polymer (SMP) foam having first and second states in a plasma chamber; evacuating the chamber to a first pressure level range; providing a first gas mixture to the chamber while at the first pressure level range; ionizing the first gas mixture into a first plasma; exposing the SMP foam to the first plasma for a first period of time to reticulate cells of the SMP foam and oxidize surfaces of inner and outer struts of the reticulated cells; and exposing the SMP foam to atmospheric pressure; wherein the SMP foam includes (a) polyurethane, (b) an inner half portion including the inner struts, and (c) an outer half portion, including the outer struts, surrounding the inner half portion in a plane that provides a cross-section of the SMP foam.
