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.
«This is definitely a new way to fabricate 2 - D
nanosheets, and it has great potential
for different materials and
for many different applications.»
Developing a reliable method to synthesize and manufacture 2 - D
nanosheets from other materials has been a goal of materials researchers and the nanotechnology industry
for years.
Already, the UW - Madison team is applying its surfactant method to growing 2 - D
nanosheets of gold and palladium, and the technique holds promise
for growing
nanosheets from all sorts of metals that wouldn't form them naturally.
PEI coated with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN)
nanosheets significantly outperforms competitive polymers at operating temperatures needed
for electric vehicles and aerospace power applications.
«Silicon
nanosheets are particularly interesting because today's information technology builds on silicon and, unlike with graphene, the basic material does not need to be exchanged,» explains Tobias Helbich from the WACKER Chair
for Macromolecular Chemistry at TUM.
Now Helbich, in collaboration with Professor Bernhard Rieger, Chair of Macromolecular Chemistry, has
for the first time successfully embedded the silicon
nanosheets into a polymer, protecting them from decay.
Now researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have,
for the first time ever, produced a composite material combining silicon
nanosheets and a polymer that is both UV - resistant and easy to process.
The nanotechnology team at Deakin's Institute
for Frontier Materials has been working on boron nitride nanomaterials
for two decades and has been internationally recognized
for its work in the development of boron nitride nanotubes and
nanosheets.
In hopes of limiting the disastrous environmental effects of massive oil spills, materials scientists from Drexel University and Deakin University, in Australia, have teamed up to manufacture and test a new material, called a boron nitride
nanosheet, that can absorb up to 33 times its weight in oils and organic solvents — a trait that could make it an important technology
for quickly mitigating these costly accidents.
Despite having electronic properties superior to other 2D materials such as graphene (2D carbon) and silicene (2D silicon), phosphorene's potential
for application in high - performance devices has been limited by how difficult it is to reliably produce commercially viable quantities of it in large, thin, high - quality
nanosheet form.
Graphene nanoscrolls —
nanosheets uniformly wound around themselves — have been proposed
for use as a man - made analogue of this capillary structure.
Additionally, the team utilized a green LED to direct pulsed light at the
nanosheets and found that they exhibited a reliable response to light and an excellent response time between 18 and 73 milliseconds, indicating that In2Se3
nanosheets could be a highly effective material
for real - time imaging purposes.
This effect, known as a photoconductive response, can be used to make a photodetector or light sensor, and because the two - dimensional
nanosheets exhibited such a strong photoconductive response across a broad light spectrum and simultaneously resist chemical contamination, this research could lead to a revolution in extreme low - light, high - resolution imaging products and applications, such as consumer and professional cameras and video cameras,
for example.
