Developing biodegradable polyurethane (PU) materials as an alternative to non-degradable petroleum-based PU is a crucial and challenging task. This study utilized lactide as the starting material to synthesize polylactide polyols (PLA-OH). PLA-based polyurethanes (PLA-PUs) were successfully synthesized by introducing PLA-OH into the PU molecular chain.

- - Nanofiber membranes (NFMs) are promising materials for flexible, transparent applications, but their performance is limited by poor light transmission and high reflection at the nanofiber-air interface.
- - Researchers developed a flexible temperature-responsive transparent (TRT) membrane that turns from opaque to highly transparent when heated to 37 °C, thanks to a phase change material called eicosane coated on nanofibers.
- - The TRT membranes achieve over 90% light transmittance and respond within 5 seconds, paving the way for advanced applications in intelligent monitoring and security technologies.
