Sensing surface morphology of biofibers by decorating spider silk and cellulosic filaments with nematic microdroplets

Probing the surface morphology of microthin fibers such as naturally occurring biofibers is essential for understanding their structural properties, biological function, and mechanical performance. The state-of-the-art methods for studying the surfaces of biofibers are atomic force microscopy imagin...
