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

They are resistant to chemical attack, readily machinable, and thermal shock, damage tolerant, and sometimes fatigue, creep, and oxidation resistant. Two-dimensional (2D) structures, like graphene and ...

Researchers transformed 2D kaolinite into 3D amorphous cement using chemical reactions in an alkaline medium. This breakthrough creates a sustainable, CO2-free alternative to traditional cement, ...

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 ...
