| Zusammenfassung: | Surface geometries in nature such as wrinkle structures have various functions. Attention has been paid to the fabrication method of the geometry and geometry control by external stimuli. This is because surface geometries as an active interface are able to contribute to the control of interactions with the external environment. In this study, aligned wrinkles were fabricated on the surface of stretched hydrogels in aqueous conditions by the electrophoretic formation of a polyion complex layer. The geometry of wrinkles was controlled by the stretching ratio and Young's modulus of hydrogels, and hierarchical wrinkle structures were fabricated after unloading the stretched hydrogels. Therefore, it can be a new wrinkle-formation method capable of transferring the initial elastic anisotropy of the substrate material to the wrinkle structure. Creation of thermoresponsive wrinkles that can transform their geometrical configuration reversibly was achieved by fabrication of aligned wrinkles on the surface of thermoresponsive hydrogels |
