contents We study the field concentration phenomenon between two closely spaced perfect conductors with imperfect bonding interfaces of low conductivity type. The boundary condition on these interfaces is given by a Robin-type boundary condition. We discover a \textit{new} dichotomy for the field concentration depending on the bonding parameter $γ$. Specifically, we show that the gradient of solution is uniformly bounded independent of $\varepsilon$ (the distance between two inclusions) when $γ$ is sufficiently small. However, the gradient may blow up when $γ$ is large. Moreover, we identify the threshold of $γ$ and the optimal blow-up rates under certain symmetry assumptions. The proof relies on a crucial anisotropic gradient estimate in the thin neck between two inclusions. We develop a general framework for establishing such estimate, which is applicable to a wide range of elliptic equations and boundary conditions.
