A buckling induced wrinkling is a general phenomenon in daily life, which is induced by mechanical instability at the interface of multi‐layered systems. Variety of applications have been proposed for wrinkles in nano to micrometer periodicity on the surface of soft materials. In recent decades, researchers are trying to use wrinkles for variety of sophisticated applications such as micro pattern fabrication, control of wettability, templating/directing substrate for elongated nano materials or virus, size‐selective adsorption/desorption of functional objects, cells or microorganisms, delamination induced material fabrication such as micro‐rolls, substrates for stretchable electronics, valves for microfluidic devices and soft actuators. Herein, recent advances on the fabrication and application of micro‐wrinkles are reviewed.
