Processable conducting polymers, either by melt or solution means, are suitable for fabrication into the myriad of devices envisaged for these dynamic polymer systems. The nature of the fabrication process is necessarily determined by the performance required of the final product. However, the ultimate size and cost of the fabricated part are equally as important as the performance characteristics. In this section, we review some recent developments in the area of printing and fiber-spinning technologies that will impact the fabrication of conducting polymer devices in the future.

There are many ways to implement nano-scale controlled properties into textiles. One is to give the fiber itself a nano-scale by fiber spinning. With novel fiber spinning technologies it is possible to spin fibers with diameters between 20 and 500 nm 10-500 times thinner than fibers spiimable by traditional fiber spinning techniques. An aim is to make the production of fibers with diameters below lOOnm highly productive and state-of-the-art.
