Abstract
⺠pH-sensitive PCL and PCL/chitosan nanofibres are successfully electrospun. ⺠pH-sensitive PCL and PCL/chitosan nanofibres show a clear halochromic response. ⺠Chitosan addition results in a significantly increased water sorption. ⺠Chitosan addition is indispensable for a sensitive and rapid response. ⺠Theoretical modelling on the dye-polymer interactions underpins the experimental findings.
