Abstract
A method of modifying a deformable substrate that includes depositing a sessile liquid droplet on a first surface of a deformable substrate, the sessile liquid droplet forming a deformed region in the first surface of the deformable substrate, the deformed region having a recess and a perimeter rim, the recess extending toward a second surface of the deformable substrate, and the perimeter rim extending away from the second surface of the deformable substrate and curing the deformable substrate, thereby increasing an elastic modulus of the deformable substrate such that upon removal of the sessile liquid droplet, the deformed region remains in the first surface of the deformable substrate.
