The first-ever 2D polymer with mechanically interlocked bonds developed in the US shows high flexibility and strength.

In an exciting twist, researchers at Northwestern University have come up with a new material that might just give ...

Resembling the interlocking links in chainmail, novel nanoscale material is incredibly strong and flexible. The interlocked ...

The resulting crystals comprise layers and layers of 2D interlocked polymer sheets. Within the polymer sheets, the ends of the X-shaped monomers are bonded to the ends of other X-shaped monomers. Then ...
