Abstract
Hybrid materials with nanostructure could exhibit a diverse range of applications as advanced functional materials. This research work, composite membranes with shape memory property based on biocompatible polycaprolactone and polyethylene oxide were successfully fabricated by using electrospinning technique. Electrospun fiber configuration is strongly related to the concentration of polymer and electric field strength. The hydrophilic property of hybrid membrane has been improved and water play a critical role in resulting lower its responsive temperature compared with dry membrane. The mechanism of shape memory PCL/PEO hybrid membrane at wet condition has been proposed.
