Reinforced shape-tunable microwrinkles formed on a porous-film-embedded elastomer surface

Abstract

A new structural design is proposed for wrinkling to improve mechanical durability by exploiting a porous polymer film embedded on the surface of an elastomer, which acts as a hard layer, buckles into wrinkles and effectively suppresses fatal failures such as delamination and cracking.
