| Research Abstract |
We prepared smart nanofibers and demonstrate the ability to capture, encapsulate, and release cells or drugs by dynamically transforming the fibrous structure of the nanofibers into hydrogel-like structures by wrapping, swelling, and deswelling processes in response to alternations of external temperature.
