abstract = {The process of incorporating water-soluble Eggshell Membrane (S-ESM) into Polycaprolactone (PCL)
electrospun nanofiber webs was investigated, utilizing the hydrogen bonding interaction between S-ESM and catechin. PCL was first electrospun with catechin, and S-ESM was introduced into the
resulting PCL/catechin nanofibers by immersing the fibers in S-ESM solution. Morphological observation
suggested that S-ESM was incorporated with catechin and formed S-ESM/catechin nanoparticles,
distributed in the PCL nanofiber webs. Analysis of FTIR spectra indicated that hydrogen bonding
interactions were generated between PCL and catechin as well as between S-ESM and catechin. The
bulk compression property of electrospun nanofiber webs was measured and the results showed S-ESM
and catechin had effect on modifying the mechanical property of PCL nanofiber webs.},
