Tunable Electrical Properties of Embossed, Cellulose-Based Paper for Skin-like Sensing by Tongfen Liang (9601461)

“…The largest increase in conductivity from 8.38 × 10^–6 to 2.5 × 10^–3 S/m by a factor of ∼300 occurred at a percolation threshold of 3.8 wt % (or 0.36 vol %) with the composite paper plastically compressed by 410 MPa, which caused a decrease of porosity from 88% to 42% on average. …”

Anisotropic Wetting and Diffusion Behavior of Water Droplets on Biphenylene Compared to Graphene by Xiaoqiong Ren (20362140)

“…As the concentration of vacancies increases, the contact angle increases both along the zigzag direction and the armchair direction, while the anisotropy decreases. In planar defective biphenylene heterojunctions, water droplets spontaneously move from the defective area to the pristine area, where the zigzag direction exhibits a larger energy gradient compared to the armchair direction, leading to a faster movement of water droplets in the zigzag direction. …”
