Two-Dimensional Polymers
Until now, scientists have assumed sheets of two-dimensional polymers are impossible to form. But with some hard work, Strano and his team they were able to do just that using a special process that involves the compound melamine. "Instead of making a spaghetti-like molecule, we can make a sheet-like molecular plane, where we get molecules to hook themselves together in two dimensions," Strano said in the statement. "This mechanism happens spontaneously in solution, and after we synthesize the material, we can easily spin-coat thin films that are extraordinarily strong."
