We describe a set of recently developed benchtop techniques that provide a straightforward way to generate libraries of fibrous surfaces with a wide range of finely tuned, nearly arbitrary geometric, mechanical, material, and surface characteristics starting from a single master array. These simple systematic controls can be used to program the fibers to bundle together, twist around each other into chiral swirls, and assemble into patterned arrays of complex hierarchical architectures. The delicate balance between fiber elasticity and surface adhesion plays a critical role in determining the shape, chirality, and higher order of the assembled structures, as does the dynamic evolution of the geometric, mechanical, and surface parameters throughout the assembly process. Hierarchical assembly can also be programmed to run backwards, enabling a wide range of reversible, responsive behaviors to be encoded through rationally chosen surface chemistry.
