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.
