Controlled Sub‐Micrometer Hierarchical Textures Engineered in Polymeric Fibers and Microchannels via Thermal Drawing

The controlled texturing of surfaces at the micro‐ and nanoscales is a powerful method for tailoring how materials interact with liquids, electromagnetic waves, or biological tissues. The increasing scientific and technological interest in advanced fibers and fabrics has triggered a strong motivation for leveraging the use of textures on fiber surfaces. Thus far however, fiber‐processing techniques have exhibited an inherent limitation due to...
