Using a method that they published earlier this year, the team arranged metal - oxide
nanosheets into a single plane within a material by using a magnetic field and then fixed them in place using a procedure called light - triggered in - situ vinyl polymerization, which essentially uses light to congeal a substance into a hydrogel.
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.

If you dissolve these crystals in a special liquid, they spontaneously disintegrate
into individual
nanosheets.
The new nanomaterial is extremely moisture sensitive and at the same time chemically stable, transparent and easy to fabricate
into nanosheets.
