Figure 2: Tensile Properties and Crack Behavior in Horizontal and Vertical Patterned Inhomogeneous Elastomers (IMAGE)
Caption
By selectively illuminating the elastomer film using patterned photomasking slits, the scientists manufactured vertically patterned films that showed an interesting fracture behavior characterized by a suppression of cracks at the soft sections.
