Colloidal Crack Sintering Lithography for Light‐Induced Patterning of Particle Assemblies
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Colloidal crack sintering lithography (CCSL) is a microfabrication technique that uses light‐induced photothermal heating to trigger sintering and controlled cracking in polymer colloidal assemblies. Local structural changes generate microchannels and patterns, enabling direct writing of diverse topographic motifs.
