205th iCeMS Seminar: Dr Takuya Ohzono

Spontaneously formed wrinkle patterns on hard coating-capped elastomer surfaces are introduced. The periodicity and statistical orientation of the wrinkle stripes can be controlled by applying compressive strain. The dynamic shape-tunability shows potential for new applications, in which switching states of a system could be induced by a change in the physical boundary conditions, namely, the shape of wrinkles.
