Biomimetic 3D self-assembling biomicroconstructs by spontaneous deformation of thin polymer films

Abstract

Utilisation of spontaneous deformation of polymer films for fabrication of self-assembling constructs is a novel and very attractive research field. This manuscript overviews recent advance in the development and application of wrinkling, creasing and folding polymer films in biotechnology.
