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 ...

Researchers at Westlake University have disclosed a two-dimensional (2D) mechanically interlocked polymer (MIP) that mimics medieval chainmail at the molecular scale. This micrometer-scale 2D material ...

As tough as medieval chainmail armor and as soft as a contact lens. This material is not taken from science fiction, it is a natural structure made of thousands of DNA circles interlinked with each ...

What is a Smart Fabric? Smart fabrics are those fabrics that can sense and respond to external stimuli by varying their properties. These are wearable fabrics that can be applied to medical monitoring ...
