Abstract: Methods of making a microscale, free-standing, 3D, polyhedral, hollow, GO (or other graphene-based) structure using an origami-like self-folding approach. The origami-like self-folding process allows for easy control of size, shape, and thickness of graphene-based membranes, which, in turn, permits fabrication of freestanding 3D microscale polyhedral GO structures for example. With the 3D GO, a novel optical switching behavior is created, resulting from a combination of the geometrical effect of the 3D hollow structure and the water-permeable multi-layered GO membrane that affect the optical paths.

Abstract: Functionalized microscale 3D devices and methods of making the same. The 3D microdevice can be realized with the combination of top-down (lithographic) and bottom-up (origami-inspired self-assembly) processes. The origami-inspired self-assembly approach combined with a top-down process can realize 3D microscale polyhedral structures with metal/semiconductor materials patterned on dielectric materials. In some embodiments, the functionalized 3D microdevices include resonator-based passive sensors, i.e. split ring resonators (SRRs), on 3D, transparent, free-standing, dielectric media (Al2O3).
