  • Fabrication of fibers with self-evolved microstructures using the liquid gate.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated tunable fiber topographies and microstructures over a wide range.
  • Achieved self-evolution of periodic spindle-knot structures from a water gate.
  • Developed fibers exhibiting directional water collection and intelligent sensing capabilities.

Conclusions:

  • The dynamic liquid gating effect offers a new paradigm for spatiotemporal control of fiber structures.
  • This biomimetic approach enables the creation of high-performance fibers with sophisticated functions.
  • The technology has potential applications in bioengineering, smart textiles, and advanced materials.
