Abstract: Poly (para-xylylene) hollow fibers with inner diameters can be prepared via template fibers electrospun from solutions. The PPX is deposited from the vapor phase and the template fiber is selectively removed by heat treatment or solvent extraction. The PPX is partially crystalline and the crystal modification depending on the route is used to extract the template fiber. The thermal stability of the hollow fibers is only slightly reduced relative to the bulk material and the same holds for the UV-stability.
