Abstract

Abstract : In article1701949, Jianxun Ding, Yu Shrike Zhang, Zhongming Li, and co‐workers develop stimuli‐responsive self‐healing porous electrospun fibers, where the pores on the electrospun fibers show efficient self‐sealing functionality to trap biomacromolecules, by taking advantage of the photothermal conversion ability of the surface‐entangled carbon nanotubes upon light irradiation. The fibers also afford a sustained release of the entrapped biomolecules through reversible reopening of the pores upon gradual degradation.
