The surface wrinkling of biological tissues is ubiquitous in nature. Accumulating evidence
suggests that the mechanical force plays a significant role in sha** the biological …

Reversible and switchable wrinkling surfaces in response to various external stimuli have
extensive potential applications. In this Letter, we prepared the reversible wrinkling on poly …

The stability and post-bifurcation of a non-linear magnetoelastic film/substrate block is
experimentally exploited to obtain active control of surface roughness. The non-intuitive …

Patterning of metallic nanogaps with ultrasmall gap size on arbitrary substrates is of great
importance for various applications in nanoelectronics, nanoplasmonics, and flexible …

Wrinkling patterns can be induced by the growth of a thin elastic film over a soft elastic
substrate. While there is a good understanding of how this pattern is initiated on a flat …

Mechanical instability has been shown to play an important role in the formation of wrinkle
structures in biofilms, which not only can adopt instability modes as templates to regulate …

Wrinkling, when a thin stiff film adhered to a compliant substrate deforms sinusoidally out of
plane due to compression, is a well understood phenomenon in bi-layer systems. However …

We consider creases and folds in compressed hyperelastic solids from the point of view of
bifurcation theory. They refer to highly localized surface deformations that occur at …

Cell polarization is a multiphysics problem resulting from coupling protein pathways and cell
morphological evolution. The most common example is asexual reproduction in budding …

Material anisotropy regulates the instabilities of film–substrate systems at different length
scale. In this paper, we investigate the surface wrinkling and morphological evolution of an …
