Fluid-bicontinuous fibers (bijel fibers) are a recent class of soft materials that allow two immiscible fluids to interact within a porous solid [1,2]. Current limitations for their applications are the limited control over their non-equilibrium assembly process, and the inability to flow liquids through them [2,3]. Here, we investigate a scalable synthesis route to obtain bijel fibers with consistent, nanostructured channels. The mechanism controlling the interfacial self-assembly is explained based on experimental data and computer simulations. Moreover, we show that liquids can be pumped through the bijel via electroosmosis. The fast fluid transport enables continuous flow liquid-liquid extraction in the bijel fibers. Combining the high surface areas of the bijel fibers obtained here (2 m2/cm3) with liquid flow enhances the potentials of bijel fibers as highly permeable porous materials with applications as microreaction media, fuel-cell components, and separation membranes.
