The growing demand for highly sensitive, flexible, and durable strain sensors has driven
innovations in material design, particularly through the use of pre-cracked conductive …

Epoxy resin (EP) has been widely used in superhydrophobic coating areas for excellent
adhesion and robustness. However, large amounts of hydrophobic particles addition are …

A map is proposed from the space of planar surface fracture networks to a four-parameter
mathematical space, summarizing the average topological connectivity and geometrical …

We introduce cracked film lithography (CFL) as a way to reduce the cost of III–V
photovoltaics (PV). We spin-coat nanoparticle suspensions onto GaAs thin-film device …

Cracks generated due to desiccation of wet colloidal systems are ubiquitous, examples
being nanomaterial films, painted walls, cemented floors, mud fields, river beds, and even …

Crack pattern-based metal grid film is an ideal candidate material for transparent
electromagnetic interference shielding optical windows. However, achieving crack patterns …

The control of the morphology of desiccation cracks is fascinating not only from the
application point of view but also from the rich physics behind it. Here, we present a …

A novel technique of designing network templates for Transparent Conducting Sheet (TCS)
has been achieved by careful modulation of pH of a desiccating colloidal suspension. The …
