A method for patterning layers of 2D material by inducing self-assembly on a support substrate, the method comprising the steps of depositing a layer of 2D material on the support substrate; applying a force at a region consisting of a point, a line, or an a real region of the 2D material such that the 2D material forms a folded, self-contacting structure at that region.

Method for structuring, patterning, and actuating devices using two-dimensional materials

A method for forming a microstructures is described. The method comprises: depositing a seed material on a substrate; growing a nanotube from the seed material; depositing microstructure material on the substrate to embed the nanotube in the microstructure material; and, detaching the substrate to release the microstructure. The resulting mictostructure comprises a body portion and a nanotube embedded in the body portion.
