Buckle-driven delamination of hydrophobic micro-, nano-, and heterostructured membranes without a sacrificial layer†
Abstract
A fabrication method, based on thin film buckling, is demonstrated to form unique membranes that can be used for applications in optics and biosensing. This method should be applicable to a variety of material systems, which, along with its simplicity and compatibility with different film architectures, allows for widespread implementation.
