Abstract

Abstract : Large-area nano-patterning on ultra-thin substrates through mechanical stretching for ultra-flexible and conformal sensors. Abstract : We report a lithography-free method for large-area plasmonic nano-patterning on ultrathin plastic films through a polymer cold-drawing process. We further transfer the ultra-flexible nano-patterned films onto the curved surfaces of plant leaves and apples to work as conformal SERS sensors.
