In a recent article published in Nature Synthesis, researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics and TU Dresden reported an on-water surface synthesis strategy for the construction of mechanically interlocked monolayer and bilayer 2D polymers. This study sheds light on the controlled synthesis of crystalline 2D polymer at the monolayer or bilayer level and provides potential avenues to address the challenges of exploring the interlayer structure-property relationships. more
