External compression-induced fracture patterning on the surface of poly(dimethylsiloxane) cubes and microspheres

This article describes a method for creating submicrometer surface patterns on cubes and microspheres. In this method, PDMS cubes and microspheres are exposed to oxygen plasma, which creates a very thin, hard, surface-modified layer on a compliant substrate. These are then compressed, causing the la...
