There is provided an apparatus for drawing a fibre, the apparatus comprising, a first outlet for dispensing a volume of a first polyionic polymer solution; and a second outlet for dispensing a volume of a second oppositely charged polyionic polymer solution; said second outlet disposed adjacent to the first outlet such that the polymer solutions dispensed therefrom are capable of contacting each other to form a fused droplet comprising a polyelectrolyte complex interface separating the first polyionic and second polyionic polymer solutions; wherein the fused droplet is arranged to move along a fibre drawing path under gravitational force in an opposing direction from the first and second outlets such that nascent fibre is drawn from the polyelectrolyte complex interface. There is also provided a method of drawing the fibre.

Apparatus and a method of drawing a fibre

There is provided a device, and related method and uses, for drawing a polymer fiber, the device comprising: a. at least two polymer compartments, wherein each polymer compartment is capable of retaining a polymer solution, and wherein adjacent compartments comprise different polymer solutions; and b. a slider comprising at least one prong, wherein the prong is capable of contacting the different polymer solutions, and wherein the slider is arranged in a retractable manner from the at least two polymer compartments. There is further provided a system and a related method for manufacturing a polymer fiber.

Device for manufacturing polymer fibers and uses thereof

There is provided a glucose-PEG conjugate comprising a PEG moiety conjugated to a linear glucose moiety at the C1 position of the glucose moiety. The glucose-PEG conjugate may be used to reduce glucose transport into a cell and may be used to treat a proliferative disorder.
