Fabrication and characterization of the mechanical properties of a single PLCL microfiber. (a) Fabrication of a single PLCL microfiber on a microfluidic chip. Introduction of PLCL in chloroform and methanol as core and sheath flows, respectively, caused the precipitation of PLCL within the outlet channel. (α′ → β′) (b) Diameters of single PLCL microfibers made using various core and sheath flow rates. (c) Strain-stress (SS) curves of single PLCL microfibers made with various relative amounts of PLCL, or (d) with various core flow rates with a fixed 20 mL/h sheath flow rate.
