The UT researchers have now developed a new method, in which they make use of nanosheets obtained from three - dimensional crystals with a layered structure. (sciencedaily.com)
Depending on the percentage of boron nitride nanosheets added to the polymer, this self - healing may require additional heat or pressure, but some forms of the new material can self - heal at room temperature when placed next to each other. (sciencedaily.com)
What's more, they discovered it by combining computer simulations with x-ray scattering and imaging methods to determine, for the first time, the atomic - resolution structure of peptoid nanosheets. (sciencedaily.com)
