Abstract
Materials that can change their properties upon exposure to environmental stimuli are gaining an increasing interest, because they enable novel opportunities for the design and the realization of reconfigurable and adaptive objects and devices. The capabilities of these devices can be further enhanced by nanofabrication technologies, which allows complex and miniaturized architectures to be realized. Examples of complex nanostructured materials are polymer nanofibers, which have already found application in many fields including responsive systems [1-4]. In this presentation we will review our recent works aimed at realizing polymer nanofibers whose shape and function can be varied and controlled by external inputs in order to achieve intelligent complex materials. Electrospinning is here exploited for the nanofiber realization. Relevant applications in this framework include optical switching and logics. The research leading to these results has received funding from the Italian Minister of University and Research through the PRIN 201795SBA3, 2017PHRM8X and 20173L7W8K projects.
