Weavings of threads, loops and nets built from straight connectors.

What is it about?

Periodic structures built from linkers, or "sticks", can assemble in woven form. Here we enumerate the various simple forms that can arise where there is only one kind of vertex and one kind of stick – these "regular" structures being the simplest, and therefore more likely to be synthesized.

Why is it important?

New types of material will have new properties. Woven structures are a relatively new class of materials. They are being created serendipitously. We offer crystallographic descriptions of the regular weaves.
