Shape-Memory Nanofiber Meshes with Programmable Cell Orientation

Shape-Memory Nanofiber Meshes with Programmable Cell Orientation

In this work we report the rational design of temperature-responsive nanofiber meshes with shape-memory properties. Meshes were fabricated by electrospinning poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)-based polyurethane with varying ratios of soft (PCL diol) and hard [hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI)/1,...
