AbstractPolymer micro- and nanotubes are of growing interest for design of microfluidic devices, chromatography, biotechnology, medicine chemical sensors, etc. One approach for the design of tubes is based on use of self-rolling thin films. Here we overview our recent progress in the fabrication of polymeric self-rolling tube.
