Ethanol activated shape memory polyurethane produced via electrospinning
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is found to be non-toxic or permeable to exogenous microorganisms. As such, it can be used for medical applications. Electrospinning can be used to fabricate this material to create a membrane that exhibits the shape memory effect (SME). SME occurs when a material re...
