We thought if we made a 2D polymer that was that big, there was no way it would dissolve.” When integrated into ...

Examination of a 14kg hoard of mail armor near the Roman legionary fortress ... It consists of two nearly complete mail garments and parts of two others, all corroded into a single mass.

"This design, resembling the interlocking rings of chainmail armor, achieves mechanical stability without chemical bonds." "We aimed for a molecular cage but ended up with a honeycomb," said lead ...

A 2D mechanically interlocked polymer mimicking chainmail shows high flexibility and stiffness, offering promise for lightweight protective and smart armor systems. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at ...
