Area of Science:

  • Soft matter physics
  • Materials science
  • Polymer engineering

Background:

  • Soft polymers are crucial in engineering applications.
  • Creases, a common deformation, arise from mechanical instability in soft materials.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the competing mechanisms of surface and interface creases in bilayer hydrogels.
  • To understand how swelling influences crease formation.

Main Methods:

  • Numerical simulations were employed to model crease formation.
  • Experimental studies on bilayer hydrogels were conducted to validate simulations.

Main Results:

  • Crease formation is governed by modulus and height ratios.
  • Interface creases occur within specific moderate modulus (24 < M2/M1 < 96) and large height (H2/H1 ≥ 8) ratios.
  • Experimental results align with numerical predictions, showing a transition from surface to interface creases between height ratios of 5 and 10.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the transition between surface and interface creases is key for designing tunable soft materials.
  • This research provides insights into controlling crease morphology in bilayer hydrogels for advanced applications.
