Herein, liquid metal microfibers (LMM) were constructed in poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) matrix and PCL/carbon nanotubes (CNT) composites via an in-situ microfibrilization of liquid metal (LM) droplets by a layer-by-layer stacking method. The aspect ratios of LMMs in the composites can be easily adjus...
