Abstract

In the realm of advanced materials, wrinkling surface materials stand out for their innovative use of buckling instability to create adjustable micro-nano structures. This technique offers significant advantages over traditional methods, including simplified processes, lower reliance on high-precision equipment, and excellent scalability. In recent years, with a deeper understanding of the mechanisms behind wrinkle formation, the regular and tunable periodic morphology has enabled wrinkling surface materials to shine in the field of optics. Subsequently, the development of wrinkle materials with various responsive properties has opened up new possibilities for cutting-edge applications in anti-counterfeiting and robust smart devices. This review summarizes the principles and methods for generating wrinkles, detailing the mechanisms and main approaches for controlling the surface morphology of wrinkling materials. Finally, we review the applications of wrinkling materials in optics and optical encryption, highlighting their emerging utility and potential in these fields.
