A well‐ordered striped pattern was formed on a thin gold film, which had been deposited using an ion sputtering technique onto an elastic silicone substrate prestretched by 20%. We also prepared a two‐layer (silicone/conducting rubber) substrate onto which a thin gold film with a striped pattern was produced using a similar method. By applying a voltage (24 V) between both ends of the conducting rubber to heat the substrate, I succeeded in reversibly changing the orientation of the striped pattern. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
