FIGURE 7

Braid samples fabricated by the 2nd generation of micro braiding machine. (A) Test figured patterns: Figured braid sample with cotton threads (7 × 4). Four pink threads have the zigzag pattern on the top side (orange curved line clearly shows the zigzag pattern) while the green threads (3 × 4) and the purple threads (3 × 4) have the typical clockwise and counterclockwise helical pathways in a standard tubular braid. (B) Test patterns: Another figured braid sample, with colored nylon fishing lines. (C) Final braided microwires (12 × 1 × 9.6 μm) over the tungsten core and a partial portion of blunt syringe tip. (D) Final braided microwires (6 × 2 × 9.6 μm) over the tungsten core and a partial portion of blunt syringe tip.
