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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

The synthesis of 2D material polymers represents a groundbreaking approach in materials science, offering a diverse range of applications in various industries. These composite materials combine the ...

MIT researchers tested the gas permeability of their new polymer films by suspending them over microwells to form bubbles. Some bubbles from 2021 experiments are still inflated. This optical ...

Because it's nearly impermeable to gases, the polymer coating could be used to protect solar panels, machinery, infrastructure, and more. (Nanowerk News) MIT researchers have developed a lightweight ...

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 ...
