Researchers at Duke University then added the ‘chainmail’ to a material known as Ultem, which is in the same family as Kevlar ...

In what they're calling the "highest density of mechanical bonds ever achieved," researchers created a super-strong flexible ...

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

Researchers unveiled a super-strong nanoscale material made from the first two-dimensional mechanically interlocked polymers.

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

Imagine armor as light as fabric yet stronger than steel, built from materials that link together like molecular chainmail.

Ultra-Strong Plastic Polymers When studying ultra-resistant materials, the conversation often veers toward hard metals, from ordinary iron to more exotic titanium, tungsten, or rhenium (follow the ...

Chinese scientists proposed a novel imine-to-olefin transformation strategy to synthesize single-crystal sp² carbon-linked covalent organic frameworks (sp²c-COFs). COFs are crystalline, porous ...

Two high-quality single-crystal sp²c-COFs have been developed, demonstrating the generality of this approach. This work ...
