Thermally Triggered Mechanically Destructive Electronics Based On Electrospun Poly(ε-caprolactone) Nanofibrous Polymer Films
Abstract Electronics, which functions for a designed time period and then degrades or destructs, holds promise in medical implants, reconfigurable electronic devices and/or temporary functional systems. Here we report a thermally triggered mechanically destructive device, which is constructed with a...

Upon heated over the melting temperature of the polymer, the pores of the nanofibers collapse due to the nanofibers’ microscopic polymer chain relaxing and packing.
