Paper Title
Surface Microporous Structured Continuous Fibers via Breath Figure Method

Abstract
Advanced fiber-based materials with customized functionalities are attractive for a broad range of applications. Conventional solid-coating modification strategies often result in solid layers with compromised performance and poor integrity of mechanical mismatch and interfacial incompatibility. In this paper, a novel kind of continuous fibers with surface-engineered conformal porous microstructures were prepared by breath figure (BF) method for the first time. Different influential factors such as substrate materials and fiber diameters on the porous microstructure forming were systematically studied. The investigation results show that the conformal porous microstructures could be formed on various fiber substrates, and the morphology of porous structures can be controlled by adjusting the substrate materials and diameters. It is believed that the BF-based fiber modification approach proposed in this work may pave the way to developing a brand-new class of novel advanced 1D structures and materials.
