Abstract:Microhelices are important structures capable of overcoming low Reynolds number limitations and can be used in various applications. The fabrication of such microhelices is a challenge as existing fabrication techniques are restrictive in material choices and require sophisticated equipment. In this work, we demonstrate a simple top‐down approach to fabricate microhelical structures using surface modification of helical electrospun fibers to produce both hydrophilic, silica‐coated (Si‐HMPF), and hydrophobic, c… Show more
