Abstract
Patterned fibers having repeating segments of controlled conductivity separated by insulating segments are prepared by patterning the fiber with photoresist and, optionally, metallizing bare portions of the fiber where the photoresist has been exposed and removed. Fibers of the present invention can be patterned as alternating segments of bare fiber/photoresist-coated fiber, bare fiber/metallized fiber, or metallized fiber/photoresist-coated fiber.
