“…Ultrasound sensing was enabled in fibers using piezoelectric materials to be weaved into fabrics [60]. Long-term microscale implantable devices with nanoscale metallic glass probes and microfluidic features allow localized pharmacological neural stimulation and monitoring [98]. Triboelectric nanogenerators fiber devices for mechanical force detection with surface patterns were designed as a wearable multipoint touch sensor [99].…”

Recent advances in additive manufacturing enable redesigning material morphology on nano-, micro-, and meso-scale, for achieving an enhanced functionality on the macro-scale. From non-planar and flexible electronic circuits, through biomechanically realistic surgical models, to shoe soles individualized for the user comfort, multiple scientific and technological areas undergo material-property redesign and enhancement enabled by 3D printing. Fiber-device technology is currently entering such a transformation. In this paper, we review the recent advances in adopting 3D printing for direct digital manufacturing of fiber preforms with complex cross-sectional architectures designed for the desired thermally drawn fiber-device functionality. Subsequently, taking a recursive manufacturing approach, such fibers can serve as a raw material for 3D printing, resulting in macroscopic objects with enhanced functionalities, from optoelectronic to bio-functional, imparted by the fiber-devices properties.

“…Therefore, a well-constructed preform with the desired material located at the prescribed position is requisite to achieve various functional fibers. Till now, many preform preparation approaches have been developed to enable a wide range of functional fiber structures, such as rod-in-tube [21], extrusion [22], thin-film rolling [23], deep-hole drilling [24], casting [25], fused deposition modeling [26], double crucible [27], direct assembly [28], and additive manufacturing [29].…”

Thermally drawn multimaterial fibers have experienced rapid development in the past two decades owing to the high scalability, uniformity, and material and structure compatibility of the thermal drawing technique. This article reviews various multimaterial fibers based on different functional structures and their applications in disparate fields. We start from the functional structures achieved in optical fibers developed in the early stage of thermally drawn fibers. Subsequently, we introduce both typical functional structures and unique structures created in multimaterial fibers for varying applications. Next, we present the early attempts in breaking the axial symmetric structures of thermally drawn fibers for extended functionalities. Additionally, we summarize the current progress on creating surface structures on thermally drawn fibers. Finally, we provide an outlook for this trending topic towards wearable devices and smart textiles.

“…Through using the thermal drawing technique, the long, well‐ordered, and uniform amorphous alloys can be produced and the size range can span from around 40 nm to a few micrometers. [ 116 ] The fabricated amorphous alloys exhibit the superior ability to be processed at a high viscosity and electrical conductivity in the order of 10 6 S m −1 , and thus the amorphous alloys can be incorporated in optoelectronic devices. For example, the optoelectronic fibers with amorphous alloys electrodes can be implanted into the pedunculopontine nucleus (PPn) of the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) in rats (Figure 12b), and the traces of neural recordings were detected by amorphous alloy electrodes (Figure 12c).…”

Amorphous alloys have attracted great attention due to their distinctive properties derived from unique packing structures. Recently, significant advances have been achieved for the understanding of structural characteristics and functional applications of amorphous alloys. Herein, an overview of the state of art of structure studies, accounting for the characteristics of amorphous alloys, are presented, and recent progresses in the functional applications of amorphous alloys are highlighted. The various structural models for the short‐range order, medium‐range order, and long‐range topological order for amorphous alloys are introduced. The functional applications in electrochemistry, mechanism, magnetism, optics, and biomedical engineering are presented in detail. The fundamental understanding of the correlations between structures and properties in amorphous alloys is discussed.
