Surface Patterning: Sub-Micrometer Surface-Patterned Ribbon Fibers and Textiles (Adv. Mater. 22/2017)

In article number 1605868, Yoel Fink and co-workers (Fink Lab RLE MIT) develop a novel technique that enables high-spatial-resolution surface patterning of polymer fibers. The thermally drawn fibers, with micrometer/sub-micrometer features patterned on their surface, are woven into a textile with multiple engineered properties, including structural coloration and directional wetting.
