Fig. 1: Stretchable and transparent PDMS fiber.
From: Rapid mold-free fabrication of long functional PDMS fibers
a Schematic illustration of a PDMS fiber fabricated using the thermally induced wet spinning method. b Mechanism of PDMS solidification on the surface of the hot oil (180–230 °C) to form fibers, followed by stretching using a winder. c Photograph of a PDMS fiber wound around a glass rod. d Photograph of a PDMS fiber stretched from 50 to 180 mm (260%). e Photograph of a transparent textile (25 × 25 mm2) produced by weaving PDMS fibers.
