A breakthrough 2D polymer material has been developed with potential for body armour, offering strength and flexibility.
A groundbreaking 2D polymer could give a new meaning to body armor and ballistic fabrics with its unbeatable strength and flexibility.
Imagine armor as light as fabric yet stronger than steel, built from materials that link together like molecular chainmail.
Northwestern University researchers have achieved a groundbreaking development in materials science with the creation of a ...
Resembling the interlocking links in chainmail, novel nanoscale material is incredibly strong and flexible. The interlocked material contains 100 trillion mechanical bonds per 1 square centimeter -- ...
The first-ever 2D polymer with mechanically interlocked bonds developed in the US shows high flexibility and strength.
