Plastics, by and large, are well-understood materials. Not as strong as most metals, but often much lighter, these man-made polymers have found innumerable applications that have revolutionized the ...

MIT says the two-dimensional nature of the polymer gives it strength not typically associated with plastic. An MIT dean sees the new two-dimensional polymer as appropriate for “applications where high ...

Collaboration has led to the successful observation of these ultrafast electrons within conducting two-dimensional polymers. Professors Kimoon Kim and Ji Hoon Shim along with Dr. Yeonsang Lee from the ...

In a remarkable feat of chemistry, a Northwestern University-led research team has developed the first two-dimensional (2D) ...

2D polymers are a novel class of nanomaterials that combine the structural features of polymers with the two-dimensional geometry of graphene and other 2D materials. These polymers consist of ...

Two-dimensional polymers (or COFs) have shown promise as candidates for next-generation extreme strength materials as they combine the advantages of traditional Kevlar and more recent graphene-like ...

In a recent paper published in Chem, researchers from Pohang University of Science and Technology have developed conducting two-dimensional polymers with electron mobility comparable to graphene.

MIT researchers have developed a lightweight polymer film that is nearly impenetrable to gas molecules, raising the possibility that it could be used as a protective coating to prevent solar cells and ...

MIT researchers have developed a new material that's as strong as steel but as light as plastic. It can be easily manufactured in large quantities, and the use cases range from lightweight coatings ...
