*Abstract: This technology provides for polymer composites that comprise a filler and a matrix. The filler comprises an electrospun polymer mat. The matrix comprises a polymer film. The filler is arranged to respond to stimuli by altering its mechanical properties. For example, a mat can be electrospun from poly(vinyl alcohol) with a matrix formed from ethylene oxide-epichlorohydrin 1:1 copolymer. The filler can be arranged so that the tensile storage modulus of the polymer composite changes in response to the filler that is exposed to a stimulus. In another example, the filler is about four percent by weight of the polymer composite, resulting in a material that can be tuned via refractive index matching to achieve transparent, responsive composites.
