Photo- and pH-responsive Electrospun Polymer Films: Wettability and Protein Adsorption Characteristics
A photo- and pH-responsive electrospun polymer film composed of a carboxy-azobenzene polymer (PAZO) and polystyrene (PS) has been fabricated. The wettability can be switched in response to pH variation and UV light irradiation. The controlled adsorption of protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA), on the electrospun films can be achieved under UV light irradiation.
