Fabrication of Fibers With Complex Features Using Thermal Drawing of 3D‐Printed Preforms

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 18, 18 September 2026.
3D printing enables rapid fabrication of macroscale polymer preforms with complex geometries. Thermal drawing then scales these structures into long fibers while preserving micron‐scale cross‐sectional features. This workflow provides a fast, low‐cost route to functional fibers with tailored geometries and material combinations for catheter, robotic ...

Sensing of Copper(II) by Immobilized Ligands: Comparison of Electrochemical and Surface Plasmon Resonance Transduction

Proceedings, 2019
Two sensors for the detection of the metal ion Cu(II), based on the same sensing layer, are compared. They rely on different transduction methods, i.e., electrochemistry and surface plasmon resonance (SPR).
