Microfluidic Janus fibers with dual thermoresponsive behavior for thermoactuation

Innovations in spider silk‐inspired artificial gel fibers: Methods, properties, strengthening, functionality, and challenges

“…An intelligent actuator in the form of a fiber-shaped gel, capable of sensing, adapting, and interacting with environmental-stimuli, is extremely valuable for various applications. 246,247 For example, Yu et al 248 have pro-duced a single continuous hydrogel fiber that contains a dorsoventral gradient network using cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). This gel fiber could be programed to act helically as plant coiling.…”

Simultaneous photo-induced polymerization and surface modification by microfluidic spinning to produce functionalized polymer microfibers: the effect of their surface modification on cell adhesion

“…1). 35,37,38 (SH) x was introduced in the sheath phase to promote the reaction at the interface of the two phases with acrylate groups from the core phase. After investigating the effect of various parameters such as the polyfunctionality of the thiol-based molecule, its concentration in the sheath phase, and the flow rate of the sheath phase (Φ s ) on the functionalization of the microfibers, the work was then extended to molecules with multiple amine groups for the surface modification of microfibers and to microparticles also produced by microfluidics.…”
