This work reports on thermally tunable surface wettability of electrospun fiber mats of: polystyrene (PS)/poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPA) blended (bl‐PS/PNIPA) and crosslinked poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide)‐co‐methacrylic acid)] (PNIPAMAA) (xl‐NIPAMAA). Both the bl‐PS/PNIPA and xl‐PNIPAMAA fiber mats demonstrate reversibly switchable surface wettability, with the bl‐PS/PNIPA fiber mats approaching superhydrophobic ≥150° and superhydrophilic contact angle (CA) values at extreme temperatures. Weight loss studies carried out at 10 °C indicate that the crosslinked PNIPAMAA fiber mats had better structural integrity than the bl‐PS/PNIPA fiber mats. PNIPA surface chemistry and the Cassie–Baxter model were used to explain the mechanism behind the observed extreme wettability.
