MIT Engineers Create the “Impossible” – New Material That Is Stronger Than Steel and As Light as Plastic

scitechdaily.com

Using a novel polymerization process, MIT chemical engineers have created a new material that is stronger than steel and as light as plastic, and can be easily manufactured in large quantities.

The new material is a two-dimensional polymer that self-assembles into sheets, unlike all other polymers, which form one-dimensional, spaghetti-like chains.

Until now, scientists had believed it was impossible to induce polymers to form 2D sheet
