Fiber functionalization and functional fiber construct assembly
(A) Functionalized fiber building blocks. Left: coating functionalization of a fiber-shaped substrate. Middle: individually handleable fiber consisting of a single bioelectronic material or composite. Right: thermally drawn composite fiber.
(B) Principles for assembling bioelectronic functional fiber constructs using individually handleable functionalized fiber building blocks; their usage can form sustainable circular economies when recycling and reuse are supported. Adapted with permission.17 Copyright 2023, Springer Nature.
