Microstructured Fibers: Instability‐Assisted Direct Writing of Microstructured Fibers Featuring Sacrificial Bonds (Adv. Mater. 24/2015)
Source abstract
Abstract
A 30 μm-diameter thread of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)-dissolved in dichloromethane is deposited on top of the eye of a sewing needle. The deposition robot traces a straight line and the helical shape of the thread is due to the liquid rope coiling instability. As described on page 3676, F. P. Gosselin and co-workers use this instability to fabricate microstructured fibers with tailored mechanical properties.
