Form-stable phase change electrospun nanofibers mat with thermal regulation and biomedical multi-functionalities

This study aimed to introduce a smart multifunctional textile composed of phase change material, i.e., polyethylene glycol (PEG), with potential for thermo-regulative biomedical application. PEG was efficiently form-stabilized polycaprolactone, and the nanofibers mats were developed by electrospinning overcome leakage issue during process. Gelatin curcumin also incorporated enable performance textiles. The results revealed that electrospun possessed randomly oriented morphology, sufficient water absorption capability, good mechanical properties, excellent performance. fibers' diameter varied from 220 nm 370 nm, tensile strength ranging 10 30 MPa. Furthermore, fabricated latent heat 61.7 J/g reliable energy absorption-release cyclability over 100 heating-cooling cycles. curcumin-loaded textiles an initial burst release followed sustained one week. They further presented significant antioxidant activity 81.23.7 ± 3.08 % after 24 h, introducing great application as dressing diminish inflammation cooling effect.
