title: Replicable multilayered nanofibrous patterns on a flexible film.
abstract: This report describes a simple method for the direct patterning of nanofibers on a flexible, insulating film. The method allows the replication of nanofibrous patterns from a single patterned electrode and the fabrication of multilayered patterns from various electrode shapes. The architecture of the fibrous patterns can be controlled by tailoring the ambient humidity, thickness of the insulating film, polarity of the electrode, and size of the patterned electrode. Using this novel technique, it is possible to fabricate various complex patterns of nanofibers as well as inexpensive patterned structures.
