Abstract

Outside Back Cover: The article of doi:10.1002/idm2.12239 presents a novel microgroovebased continuous-spinning (MCS) strategy for fabricating polyelectrolyte nanocomposite fibers with exceptional mechanical strength. This approach leverages shear flow within a Y-shaped microgroove hydrogel to induce the extension and alignment of irregularly coiled polymer chains, which enhances the electrostatic interaction sites between the ordered chains, thereby significantly improving the mechanical properties of the fibers.
