Shape Memory Polymers (SMPs) are a class of smart materials with the ability to recover
its original shape from deformation following exposure to an external stimuli such as heat or
light. SMPs exhibit a wide range of applications in biomedical devices, sensors, actuators, smart
textiles, and aerospace components. Polymer composites with shape memory properties have
been fabricated using electrospinning techniques that allow for efficient production and precise
control over fiber properties. This study utilizes electrospinning-based research to produce novel
core-sheath poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) (sheath) and Pellethane (core) fibers that demonstrate
shape memory behavior and reversible adhesive properties. Further research is needed to
investigate balancing delicate electrospinning conditions for improved control over core-sheath
fiber production.
