1. A method of making a sensor comprising:

  • (a) putting a liquid elastomer into a sub-wavelength period grating structure mold and curing the liquid elastomer to a form a negative mold;

    (b) removing the negative mold from the mold;

    (c) setting the negative mold into an uncured nanoporous film, wherein the uncured nanoporous film is supported by a substrate;

    (d) allowing the nanoporous film to fully cure, partially cure or not cure;

    (e) removing the negative mold from the fully cured, partially cured, or uncured nanoporous film;

    (f) depositing a high dielectric constant dielectric material onto the fully cured, partially cured, or uncured nanoporous film, wherein a sensor is formed.
