Abstract
A composite fiber structure with improved flexibility and responsiveness, and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly, through an interdigitated structure of composite fibers into which a liquid metal is injected, it is possible to have flexibility and fast responsiveness at the same time.
Claims18
A composite fiber structure comprising:
- at least two or more composite fibers comprising:
- a hollow fiber;
- a liquid metal injected into an inner space of the hollow fiber;
- and
- a metal wire inserted into the liquid metal;
- wherein the at least two or more composite fibers are arranged as an interdigitated structure;
- wherein the interdigitated structure comprises the at least two or more composite fibers being arranged with axes parallel or substantially parallel to each other.

A method for manufacturing a composite fiber structure, the method comprising:
- preparing a hollow fiber with an inner space;
- injecting a liquid metal into the inner space of the hollow fiber;
- obtaining a composite fiber by inserting one end of a metal wire with into the liquid metal, and wherein an other end of the metal wire is exposed to an outside;
- and
- obtaining the composite fiber structure by arranging at least two or more composite fibers in an interdigitated structure;
- wherein the interdigitated structure comprises the at least two or more composite fibers arranged with axes parallel or substantially parallel to each other.
