| | Patterning Wrinkle Architectures in Nanocomposite Glasses with Self-Inscribing Guided Waves | | Authors: | M.P. Andrews and N. Belanger | | Affilation: | McGill University, CA | | Pages: | 290 - 293 | | Keywords: | pattern formation, wrinkling, self-inscription, nanocomposite patterns | | Abstract: | We have been exploring ways in which light induced self inscribed (LISI) waveguides can impose constraints on wrinkle patterns when nanocomposite hybrid sol-gel glass films become unstable to perturbations of a certain wavelength, which reflects some length scale in the microscopic system. Periodicity of wavy structures from nano- to micro- to meso- length scales can be generated reproducibly in the presence of microlithographic features created by inscribing guided waves in the photosensitive nanocomposite. Partial wet-etching of network glass films stimulates buckling of the surface whose wave length, orientation and patterning are controlled over large areas by self-inscribed waveguide relief structures. This presentation discusses methods for patterning wrinkle architectures from nanocomposites and provides a qualitative account of wrinkling over several length scales as nonuniform stresses develop in the films. | | ISBN: | 1-4200-6182-8 |
