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.
