Rogers (Univ. of Illinois) A form of Kirigami is introduced to allow precise, mechanically driven assembly of 3D mesostructures of diverse materials from 2D micro/nanomembranes with strategically designed geometries and patterns of cuts. Theoretical and experimental studies demonstrate applicability of the methods across length scales from macro (30 mm) to nano (100nm), in materials ranging from monocrystalline silicon to plastic, with levels of topographical complexity that significantly exceed those that can be achieved in any other way.

A mechanically driven form of Kirigami as a route to 3D mesostructures in micro/nanomembranes
NSF Grant # 1121262
Y. Huang (Northwestern Univ.), Y.H. Zhang (Tsinghua Univ.) and J.A. Rogers (Univ. of Illinois) A form of Kirigami is introduced to allow precise, mechanically driven assembly of 3D mesostructures of diverse materials from 2D micro/nanomembranes with strategically designed geometries and patterns of cuts. Theoretical and experimental studies demonstrate applicability of the methods across length scales from macro (30 mm) to nano (100nm), in materials ranging from monocrystalline silicon to plastic, with levels of topographical complexity that significantly exceed those that can be achieved in any other way.
