Truss-like action in Tringular Grid-shells? Relation between its mechanical behavior at local and global level?

Is there any truss-like behavior at a local scale (even at global scale, if any) in a gridshell having triangular grids? Please, let me know some reference papers/books to understand the role of...

How to replicate the well conditions of a crystal hit with 20%(w/v) isopropanol?

I had a crystal hit in a well with 0.1M HEPEs pH 7.5, 10%(w/v) PEG 4000, and 20%(w/v) isopropanol. Why is isopropanol in w/v here if it's just solvent? How do I recreate this well condition?

Can fractal dimension of thin film surfaces affects the electrons energy states?

As fractal dimension of a thin film surface implies the irregularity in the surface. Is it possible that the energy states of the electrons are also affected by the fractal dimension?
