DOI: 10.1016/j.ijadhadh.2017.09.013
Abstract: Abstract Contact instability of thin elastic films rigidly bonded to patterned substrates, in comparison to those bonded to smooth substrates, were found to form highly miniaturized patterns at their free surfaces. Through finite element simulations,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsami.6b09127
Abstract: We report a facile patterning technique capable of creating nanostructures with different feature heights (hS), periodicities (λS), aspect ratios (AR), and duty ratios (DR), using a single grating stamp with fixed feature height hP and… read more here.
