Wrinkled
surfaces driven by stresses/strains are very common in
living bodies and geologic structures. The nature-inspired wrinkle
patterns have great application prospects in the fields of microfluidics,
flexible electronics, smart optics, adhesion, and sensors. Although
various wrinkles with single features such as stripes, herringbones,
labyrinths, hierarchies, and periodic arrays have been extensively
reported, achieving multimode wrinkles in a single sample with large
scales is still a challenge. Here, we develop a facile technique to
prepare controllable multimode wrinkles in flexible film systems by
simply applying three-axial strain. It shows that striped, rippled,
and labyrinth-like wrinkles spontaneously form at corners, edges,
and center of the triangular film sample, respectively. The morphological
characteristics, transition behaviors, and formation mechanisms of
such multimode wrinkles are investigated by the experiment, stress
theory, and finite element simulation. The frictional and optical
performances are obviously anisotropic at the corners and edges, but
are isotropic in the center, exhibiting a strong dependence on the
wrinkle features. The diffraction properties of light are also well
tuneable by exerting mechanical strains. This study helps better understand
the wrinkle patterns under three-axial strain and provides a novel
way to tailor multimode wrinkles for practical applications.
