High internal phase emulsions (HIPE) are systems in which the internal (dispersed) phase has a volume fraction that can exceed the physical packing limit of monodispersed spherical droplets through deformation of the droplets to polyhedrons. The volume fraction of the dispersed phase in HIPE can reach as high as 0.96. By polymerizing the continuous phase of the HIPE and then extracting the dispersed phase, open-cell foams known as poly(HIPE) can be produced. Poly(HIPE) foams contain voids where the droplets of dispersed phase once were with windows connecting the voids. Such poly(HIPE) are often formed as monolith samples; however, it is also possible and potentially more advantageous to form such systems as fibers. Fabrication of such fibers can be done entirely in water, not requiring the use of environmentally unfriendly organic solvents, as is the case in manufacturing porous fibers by electrospinning. Fibers fabricated in this fashion could be assembled into any woven or non-woven form. Such fibers would be useful for a range of applications, such as serving as a scaffold for use in tissue engineering, or as membranes. In this study poly(HIPE) fibers are made by injecting the HIPE directly into a heated aqueous bath, where subsequent curing occurs. The effect of processing conditions and system composition on fiber morphology is analyzed. Thermogravimetric analysis and characterization of the porosity of the fibers is studied. Additionally, mechanical properties of these fibers tested under both dry and wet (immersed in water) conditions are presented.
