We developed a mass-producible fiber fabrication method for metal wire metamaterials. This technique creates flexible, micro- and nano-structured fibers for novel terahertz to optical devices.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Electromagnetics
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Metamaterials derive electromagnetic properties from their structure, not atomic composition.
  • Conventional metamaterial fabrication is expensive and limited to small sample sizes.
  • Novel devices like invisibility cloaks and super-resolution lenses are enabled by metamaterials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel fabrication method for producing long-length metal wire metamaterials in fiber form.
  • To enable mass production of metamaterials with terahertz plasmonic response.
  • To explore applications in flexible, woven electromagnetic devices.

Main Methods:

  • Combined the stack-and-draw technique with the Taylor-wire process.
  • Utilized indium wires within polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) tubes.
