(A) Schematic setup and the main components for the coaxial wet-spinning process for producing LM sheath-core microfibers. (B) A single as-spun fiber with the length of 380 m was collected on a continuously winding collector. (C) Microscopic images of LM sheath-core microfiber and human hair. (D) Photo of the microfiber threaded into a needle. (E) SEM image of the external surface of the microfiber. (F) SEM image of a knotted microfiber. (G) An LED can be lit up through a 55-cm-long activated LM sheath-core microfiber at a voltage of 3 V. (H) The cross-sectional SEM and corresponding elemental mapping images of the microfiber.
