Fig. 5

Periodically patterned gels with square arrangement of square PAAm gels (A), square arrangement of elliptic PAAm gels with identical orientation (B) or orthogonal orientation (C), combined square and rhombic arrangement of disc PAAm gels (D), and kagome arrangement of disc PAAm gels (E). The masks and modeled configurations are above and below the images of deformed patterned gels, respectively. The white and black regions of the mask correspond to nonswelling PAAm gel and high-swelling P(AAm-co-AMPS) gel, respectively. Scale bars, 1 cm.
