Segmental fibres having periodically-repeating multicomponent segments from T-junction microfluidic electrospinning

节段性纤维具有沿其长度周期性重复的多组分片段，代表了一种新的纤维类型，在创造新的纤维功能方面提供了巨大的潜力。目前的工作旨在开发一个技术平台，以制备节段纤维，并就纤维段如何对纤维的性质、功能和纤维间相互作用做出贡献提供新的知识。这将使用一种特殊的微流控电纺丝技术来实现。所开发的节段纤维将有助于开发各种不同用途的新型功能纤维。

Segmental fibres, which have periodically-repeating multi-component segments along their length, represent a new fibre type offering enormous potential in creating new fibre functions. The present work aims to develop a technical platform to prepare segmental fibres and new knowledge on how the fibre segments contribute to the property, functionality and inter-fibrous interaction of fibres. This will be achieved using a special microfluidic electrospinning technique. The segmental fibres developed will be useful for development of various new functional fibres for diverse applications.
