Chemical engineering researchers at MIT have announced the creation of a new material that is “stronger than steel and as light as plastic, and can be easily manufactured in large quantities.” The material, for which the team has filed two patents, may one day be used as a structural material...
MIT researchers have managed to create a new polymer material called 2DPA-1 that has twice the yield strength of steel and up to six times the deformation resistance of bulletproof glass. The unorthodox sheet polymer can be easily spun in mass quantities and used as ultradurable coating for phones and cars, or even as a building material.
MIT researchers have developed a new material that's as strong as steel but as light as plastic.
The new substance is the result of a feat thought to be impossible: polymerizing a material in two dimensions. Using a novel polymerization process, MIT chemical engineers have created a new material that is stronger than steel and as light as...
