Gravity-drawing flexible silicone filaments as fiber optics and model foldamers

K Snell - 2020 - scholarship.claremont.edu
Here, we present a method of gravity-drawing polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) silicone fibers
with application as fiber optics and as model foldamers. Beginning as a viscous liquid …
