Utilizing unique reactivities of the diazocarbonyl groups on these compounds, a variety of new polymers with an unprecedented chemical structure have been prepared. Credit: Polymer Journal (2024).

The Michael M. Szwarc Polymer Research Institute is a consortium of associate members drawn from several organizations and institutions.

The result is a highly ordered structure with densely entangled polymers between nanosheets, not only improving the mechanical properties of the hydrogel but also allowing the material to self-heal.

The biomedical properties and structures of polymers determine their utilization in various biomedical applications such as medical devices, implants, drug delivery, and medical packaging.

This scarcity is due to a lack of reliable and convenient synthesis methods, as well as a lack of fundamental understanding of the relationship between polymer structure and properties.

2D polymers are a novel class of nanomaterials that combine the structural features of polymers with the two-dimensional geometry of graphene and other 2D materials. These polymers consist of ...
