The properties of 2D materials, such as graphene, arise not only from their composition but also their sheet-like structures. Synthetic 2D polymers made from well-defined monomers promise to ...

In the last few years, an alternative approach for creating robust 2D structures has been introduced, involving the chemical linkage of nanosheets of distinct materials. Now, researchers are ...

The polyamide's chemical structure forces it to sit in an arrangement much like sticks laid out side by side. The hydrogen bonds that form between each "stick" give the overall structure ...

The 2D mechanically interlocked material is a polymer structure that uses mechanical ... about what types of reactions are possible in molecular crystals,” said Dichtel. The resulting material ...

The work by researchers in the Center for Advanced Semiconductor Technologies could lead to energy-efficient microelectronics ...

We believe that it will be useful to guide chemical vapor deposition growth of hBN on other metallic substrates, as well as the synthesis of nanoporous or functionalized structures." More ...

Recently, a team led by Dr. Sangen Zhao and Dr. Junhua Luo of Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of ... pair electrons as ‘chemical scissors’ to prepare 2D van der Waals (vdWs ...
