Fig. 4: Fabrication, characterization, and mechanisms of secondary wrinkles formation.
From: Photodimerization induced hierarchical and asymmetric iontronic micropatterns

a–c Optical microscopy images of PEDOT synthesized on the surface of primary patterns containing different molar ratios of An-PIL to IL, scale bar: 200 μm. d FTIR spectra for the pristine iontronic host (black line), IL droplets @primary patterns (gray-blue line), and the resultant IL-doped PEDOT @primary patterns (red line). e Optical microscopy images of the morphology variations for fabrication of the secondary wrinkles, scale bar: 200 μm, scale bar of enlarged images: 20 μm. f Schematic demonstration of the fabrication of HAIMs with hierarchical and asymmetrical morphologies. g Optical microscopy images of secondary wrinkles as a function of polymerization times; scale bar: 50 μm, the inset was the corresponding LSCM images. h Wavelength and amplitude change of secondary wrinkles versus polymerization time. Error bars represent the standard deviations of three independent data.
