Stimuli-responsive electrospun nanofibers based on PNVCL-PVAc copolymer in biomedical applications.

Poly(N-vinylcaprolactam) (PNVCL) is a suitable alternative for biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, non-toxicity, and showing phase transition at the human body temperature range. The purpose of this study was to synthesize a high molecular weight PNVCL-PVAc thermo-responsive copolymer with broad mass distribution suitable for electrospun nanofiber fabrication. The chemical structure of the synthesized materials was detected by FTIR and HNMR spectroscopies.
