2. Nanomechanical Wrinkle-Free Films Figure 1. Overall scheme of the proposed work. Transferable wrinkle free film is to be developed and tested on a pre wrinkled or folded artificial skin where transparent (invisible) and permeable wrinkle preventing film remains on the pre wrinkled or folded artificial skin like invisible patch or cosmetic cream. Detailed procedure is illustrated in Figure 4. Figure 2. Nanoparticle incorporation in polymer film in a specific way may prevent wrinkling in polymer films that would otherwise wrinkle. a) [Hendricks, T. R.; Lee, I.
