Fiber diameter as design parameter for tailoring the macroscopic shape-memory performance of electrospun meshes
Fibrous shape-memory polymer (SMP) scaffolds were investigated considering the fiber as basic microstructural feature. By reduction of the fiber diameter in randomly oriented electrospun polyetherurethane (PEU) meshes from the micro- to the nano-scale, we observed changes in the molecular orientatio...
