This review summarizes progress toward programming two-dimensional (2D) polymer
sheets which respond to a variety of external stimuli to form three-dimensional (3D) shapes …

The generation of nano-microstructured polymer film surfaces has been a challenge during
the last decades. Advances in the fabrication of structured polymer surfaces to obtain micro …

The English-language dictionary defines wrinkles as “small furrows, ridges, or creases on a
normally smooth surface, caused by crumpling, folding, or shrinking”. In this paper we review …

Stretchable electronics are becoming an important branch in the field of electronics, with a
rapidly growing number of studies on highly deformable circuits that can handle large tensile …

Mechanical buckling usually means catastrophic failure in structural mechanics systems.
However, controlled buckling of thin films on compliant substrates has been used to …

Surface wrinkles are commonly observed in polymer films driven by mechanical instability
when the stress exceeds a critical value. Recently, wrinkling instability has been utilized as a …

Metal thin films, which have high conductivity, are much stiffer and may fracture at a much
lower strain than dielectric elastomers. In order to fabricate compliant electrodes for use in …

We report the critical effects the deformational stress from the elastic nature of a confined
polymer layer has during the relaxation process on the buckling of thin metal-polymer …

In this paper, we report that the wavelength of a wrinkled PDMS structure decreases upon
annealing by combinative treatments of ultraviolet/ozone irradiation and oxygen plasma …

Three types of wrinkling are found to occur in the wrinkling of a bilayer of metal and polymer
on a substrate. Each type has its own unique characteristics in terms of the wrinkle growth …
