2022年2月2日 · Because the material self-assembles in solution, it can be made in large quantities by simply increasing the quantity of the starting materials. The researchers showed that they could coat surfaces with films of the material, which they call 2DPA-1.

2022年2月2日 · Here we demonstrate a homogenous 2D irreversible polycondensation that results in a covalently bonded 2D polymeric material that is chemically stable and highly processable.

2022年4月27日 · Because the material, called 2DPA-1, self-assembles, it’s easy to produce in large quantities. Its elastic modulus—the force it takes to deform a material—is between four and six times greater...

2022年2月8日 · Known as 2DPA-1, the almost supernatural polymer could be the shield of the future for cars and machinery, and could potentially support entire buildings. Lex Luthor obviously has nothing on this. MIT chemical engineer Michael Strano is the brains behind the (almost) unbreakable stuff.

2022年2月21日 · The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) engineers envision 2DPA-1 being used in the near future as a coating to enhance the durability of objects, and eventually as a structural material.

2022年2月2日 · Using a novel polymerization process, MIT chemical engineers have created a new material that is stronger than steel and as light as plastic, and can be easily manufactured in large quantities. The...

2DPA-1 is synthesized by combining the monomers trimesoyl chloride and melamine in NMP and pyridine at atmospheric temperature and pressure. As the reaction proceeds, a gel forms over time, which is indicative of the strong hydrogen-bonding interactions between our 2D sheets.

2022年2月3日 · Because the material self-assembles in solution, it can be made in large quantities by simply increasing the quantity of the starting materials. The researchers showed that they could coat surfaces with films of the material, which they call 2DPA-1.

2022年2月3日 · The new 2D polymer, named 2DPA-1, is stronger than steel and as light as plastic; it self-assembles into sheets, unlike all other polymers, which form spaghetti-like 1D chains.

2022年3月15日 · MIT chemical engineers have created 2DPA-1, an innovative new material that is as light as plastic yet stronger than steel and can be easily manufactured in large quantities. What is it? Simply put as possible, it’s a two-dimensional polymer that self-assembles into sheets, which up until now, was thought of as impossible.
