  • Hierarchical wrinkling on elastometric Janus spheres
    Publication . Trindade, Ana C.; Canejo, João; Patricio, Pedro; Brogueira, Pedro; Teixeira, Paulo; Godinho, Maria Helena
    Hierarchical wrinkling on elastomeric Janus spheres is permanently imprinted by swelling, for different lengths of time, followed by drying the particles in an appropriate solvent. First-order buckling with a spatial periodicity (lambda(11)) of the order of a few microns and hierarchical structures comprising of 2nd order buckling with a spatial periodicity (lambda(12)) of the order of hundreds of nanometers have been obtained. The 2nd order buckling features result from a Grinfeld surface instability due to the diffusion of the solvent and the presence of sol molecules.
