Correcting misconceptions in wettability theory and utilizing fluid surface tension to create complex hierarchical polymer structures

Nanoimprinting with anodized aluminum membranes was performed to produce nanoposts with controlled diameter and aspect ratio. The polymer nanoposts were found to remain upright and preserve the post-packing structure at low aspect ratios, but succumbed to elastocapillary coalescence at higher aspect...
