Abstract (en)
A method for producing an individual solid polymer fiber from a precursor liquid (L1) comprising polymerizable and/or cross-linkable polymer precursors by microfluidic-based wet spinning comprises the steps of: a) Introducing the precursor liquid (L1) into a first capillary tube (11) coaxially protruding into a second capillary tube (12); b) Producing a liquid fiber with core-shell structure in the second capillary tube (12); c) Optionally, injecting the liquid fiber with core-shell structure produced in step b) into a third capillary (13) tube to produce a fiber with core-shell-sheath structure; d) Guiding the liquid fiber with core-shell structure, optionally having a sheath, as produced in step b) or in step c) through a stationary liquid phase (SP); e) Curing the liquid sheet of the fiber with core-shell structure at least in one of steps c) and d) to provide a fiber having a liquid core (22) embedded in a cured shell (21); f) Collecting the fiber; g) After step f), solidifying the liquid core (22) of the fiber; h) Removing the cured shell (21) from the solid core (22') to obtain the solid polymer fiber.
