Electrospun nonwoven mats are currently being developed for applications in different research fields. By changing materials, processing conditions and assembly architecture of the fibers, textiles with an enormous variety of functionalities can be generated. Here we report on two classes of materials, based on piezo-responsive polymers for mechanical energy harvesting and on SU-8 resins for time-temperature indicators, respectively. This research has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No. 682157, “xPRINT”) and the Italian Minister of University and Research (PRIN 2017PHRM8X and 20173L7W8K).
