This contribution reviews recent findings on nonlithographic approaches for topographical structuring of polymeric surfaces and application of the resulting surfaces for creating hierarchical structures. External mechanical fields are used to induce a so-called buckling instability, which causes the formation of wrinkles with well-defined wavelength. We introduce the theoretical foundations of the...
This article reviews recent applications of controlled wrinkling for creating structured and/or patterned interfaces, and its use in metrology. We discuss how wrinkles develop as a result of in-plane compression of thin sheets. As the wavelength of wrinkles is only dependent on elastic properties and thickness of the sheets, the phenomenon can be used in metrology for determination of elastic properties...
