摘要
Inspired by helical or spiral veins,which endow plants with excellent fexibility and elasticity to withstand storms,we present novel hollow microsprings with ionic liquid encapsulation for fexible and stretchable electronics.Te microsprings were generated by using a coaxial capillary microfuidic device to consecutively spin poly(vinylidene fuoride)(PVDF)presolution and an ionic liquid,which formed laminar fows in the coaxial injection microfuidic channels.Te fast phase inversion of PVDF helps to form the core-shell structure of a microfber and guarantees the in situ encapsulation of ionic liquid.Te hybrid microfber can then spiral and be further solidifed to maintain the helical structure with increasing fow rates of the injection fuids.Because of the feasible and precise control of the injection fuids during the microfuidic spinning,the resultant microsprings have controlled core-shell structures,helical pitches,and corresponding electromechanical properties.By further embedding them into stretchable flms,the simple paradigm of a fexible device shows great conductive performance in tensile tests and even motion cycles,which could be explored as a promising candidate in stretchable sensors,fexible electronics,and electronic skins.
