Preparation of Sub‐micrometer Copper Fibers via Electrospinning

Sub-micrometer length copper fibers are obtained via polymer supported electrospinning and subsequent thermal treatment. The copper nature of the fibers is confirmed by using energy- dispersive X-ray analysis and wide- angle X-ray analysis (see figure). The copper fibers show metallic conductivity as confirmed by conductance measurements in a low-energy electron point source microscope.
