Description:
Author(s): Qiming Wang, Lin Zhang, and Xuanhe Zhao We report a new type of instability in a substrate-bonded elastic polymer subject to an ultrahigh electric field. Once the electric field reaches a critical value, the initially flat surface of the polymer locally folds against itself to form a pattern of creases. As the electric field further rises... [Phys.
