Poly(dimethyl siloxane) with a compositional gradient was fabricated via a precision syringe pump setup. Stretching of the substrate and subsequent oxygen plasma oxidation resulted in a continuously changing wrinkle wavelength on the surface upon relaxation. This approach is a powerful tool for designing gradient surfaces with tailored topography.
