Abstract
Recent advances in nanolithography, miniaturization, and material science, along with developments in wearable electronics, are pushing the frontiers of sensor technology into the large-scale fabrication of highly sensitive, flexible, stretchable, and multimodal detection systems. Various strategies, including surface engineering, have been developed to control the electrical and mechanical characteristics of sensors. In particular, surface wrinkling provides an effective alternative for improving both the sensing performance and mechanical deformability of flexible and stretchable sensors by releasing interfacial stress, preventing electrical failure, and enlarging surface areas. In this study, recent developments in the fabrication strategies of wrinkling structures for sensor applications are discussed. The fundamental mechanics, geometry control strategies, and various fabricating methods for wrinkling patterns are summarized. Furthermore, the current state of wrinkling approaches and their impacts on the development of various types of sensors, including strain, pressure, temperature, chemical, photodetectors, and multimodal sensors, are reviewed. Finally, existing wrinkling approaches, designs, and sensing strategies are extrapolated into future applications.

Abstract
Growth-induced pattern formations in curved film-substrate structures have attracted extensive attention recently. In most existing literature, the growth tensor is assumed to be homogeneous or piecewise homogeneous. In this paper, we aim at clarifying the influence of a growth gradient on pattern formation and pattern evolution in bilayered tubular tissues under plane-strain deformation. In the framework of finite elasticity, a bifurcation condition is derived for a general material model and a generic growth function. Then we suppose that both layers are composed of neo-Hookean materials. In particular, the growth function is assumed to decay linearly either from the inner surface or from the outer surface. It is found that a gradient in the growth has a weak effect on the critical state, compared with the homogeneous growth type where both layers share the same growth factor. Furthermore, a finite-element model is built to validate the theoretical model and to investigate the post-buckling behaviours. It is found that the associated pattern transition is not controlled by the growth gradient but by the ratio of the shear modulus between two layers. Different morphologies can occur when the modulus ratio is varied. The current analysis could provide useful insight into the influence of a growth gradient on surface instabilities and suggests that a homogeneous growth field may provide a good approximation on interpreting complicated morphological formations in multiple systems.

Abstract
Existing strategies for reconfigurable three-dimensional (3D) electronics are greatly constrained by either the complicated driven mechanisms or harsh demands for conductive materials. Developing a simple and robust strategy for 3D electronics reconstruction and function extension remains a challenge. Here, we propose a solvent-driven bistable actuator, which acts as a substrate to reconstruct the combined 3D electronic device. Extraction of silicon oil from a hybrid poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) circle sheet buckles the dish to a bistable structure. The ultraviolet (UV)/ozone treatment on one surface of the PDMS structure introduces an oxidized layer, yielding a bilayered, solvent-driven bistable smart actuator. The snap-back stimulus to the oxidized layer differs from the snap-through stimulus. Experimental and numerical studies reveal the fundamental regulations for buckling configurations and the bistable behavior of the actuator. The prepared bistable actuator drives the bonded kirigami polyimide (PI) sheets to diverse 3D structures from the original bending configuration, reversibly. A frequency-reconfigurable electrically small monopole antenna is presented as a demonstration, which paves a way for the applications of this actuator in the field of reconfigurable 3D electronics.

Direct numerical simulations of three-dimensional surface instability patterns in thin film-compliant substrate structures. Sci Rep 2021; 11:16449.

Abstract
A comprehensive numerical study of three-dimensional surface instability patterns is presented. The formation of wrinkles is a consequence of deformation instability when a thin film, bonded to a compliant substrate, is subject to in-plane compressive loading. We apply a recently developed computational approach to directly simulate complex surface wrinkling from pre-instability to post-instability in a straightforward manner, covering the entire biaxial loading spectrum from pure uniaxial to pure equi-biaxial compression. The simulations use embedded imperfections with perturbed material properties at the film-substrate interface. This approach not only triggers the first bifurcation mode but also activates subsequent post-buckling states, thus capable of predicting the temporal evolution of wrinkle patterns in one simulation run. The state of biaxiality is found to influence the surface pattern significantly, and each bifurcation mode can be traced back to certain abrupt changes in the overall load–displacement response. Our systematic study reveals how the loading condition dictates the formation of various instability modes including one-dimensional (1D) sinusoidal wrinkles, herringbone, labyrinth, and checkerboard.

Abstract
Exiting strategies for 3D shape-changing structures are constrained by either the complicated fabrication process or the harsh demands of active materials. Facile preparation of 3D shape-changing structures with an extremely simple approach based on the elastomeric polymer still remains a challenging topic. Here, we report a fast digital patterning of surface topography of a single-layer elastomeric polymer toward 3D shape-changing structures. The surface topography features digitally engraved grooves by a laser engraver on a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) sheet, which is surface oxidized by the UV-ozone treatment. The resulting engraved PDMS sheets exhibit programmable shape-changing behaviors to form various 3D structures under the action of organic solvent. Experimental and numerical studies reveal the fundamental aspects of surface topography-guided 3D shape-changing structures. Demonstrations of this concept in developing various complex 3D shape-changing structures illustrate the simplicity and effectiveness of our approach, thereby creating engineering opportunities in a wide range of applications such as actuators and soft robots.
