In light of the considerable impact synthetic 2D polymers are expected to have on many fundamental and applied aspects natural engineering sciences, it is surprising that little research has been carried out these intriguing macromolecules. Although numerous approaches reported over last several decades, synthesis a one monomer unit thick, covalently bonded molecular sheet with long-range ordered (periodic) internal structure yet be achieved. This Review provides an overview analysis how...
A two-dimensional polymer (2DP) based on the dimerization of anthraceno groups arranged in a triptycene motif is reported. photoinduced polymerization performed crystalline state and gives lamellar 2DP via crystal-to-crystal (but not single-crystal to single-crystal) transformation. Solvent-induced exfoliation provides monolayer sheets 2DP. The considered be tiling, mathematical approach that facilitates structural elucidation.
Covalent monolayer sheets in 2 hours: spreading of threefold anthracene-equipped shape-persistent and amphiphilic monomers at the air/water interface followed by a short photochemical treatment provides access to infinitely sized, strictly monolayered, covalent with in-plane elastic modulus range 19 N/m.

Monolayer sheets have gained attention due to the unique properties derived from their two-dimensional structure. One of key challenges in sheet modification/synthesis is exchange integral parts while keeping them intact. We describe site-to-site transmetalation Zn2+ netpoints cm2-sized, metal–organic by Fe2+, Co2+, and Pb2+. This novel transformation was done both randomly at predetermined patterns defined photolithography create monolayer composed different netpoints. All transmetalated...
To identify the safety issues associated with hydrogen fueling stations, incidents at such stations in Japan and USA were analyzed considering regulations these countries. Leakage due to damage fracture of main bodies apparatuses pipes is mainly caused by design error, that is, poorly planned fatigue. Considering present countries, adequate consideration usage environment very important. from flanges, valves, seals screw joints. If welded joints are be used Japan, strength data for parts...
Abstract Vermutlich werden synthetische 2D‐Polymere auf vielen Gebieten der Naturwissenschaft und Technik Bedeutung erlangen, zwar grundlegende ebenso wie praktische. Daher überrascht es, dass diesem Gebiet bisher so wenige Fortschritte zu verzeichnen sind. In den letzten Jahrzehnten sind viele Ansätze zur Synthese solcher Polymere beschrieben worden, die tatsächliche eines kovalent verknüpften, periodischen, molekularen Films mit Dicke einer Monomereinheit ist jedoch nicht gelungen. Unser...
Oligofunctional terpyridine‐based monomers are spread at an air/water interface, where they connected with transition metal salts such as Fe(II) into mechanically coherent monolayer sheets of macroscopic dimension. The conversions these processes determined by XPS for several monomer/metal ion combinations. transferred onto TEM grids, the 20 × square micrometer sized holes which can be spanned. AFM indentation experiments provide in‐plane elastic moduli compared naturally occurring graphene....
Hydrogen, which is expected to be a popular type of next-generation energy, drawing attention as fuel option for the formation low-carbon society. Because hydrogen energy different in nature from existing technologies, it necessary promote sufficient social recognition and acceptability technology its widespread use. In this study, we focused on effect initiatives improve awareness technology, thereby investigating those participating either several introduction events or professional...
Multiple-energy-fueling stations, which can supply several types of energy such as gasoline, CNG, and hydrogen, could guarantee the efficient use space. To guide safety management hybrid hydrogen–gasoline fueling utilize liquid hydrogen an carrier, scale gasoline pool fires was estimated using hazard assessment tool Toxic Release Analysis Chemical Emissions (TRACE).

Electrochromism based on structural colours was demonstrated by employing a simple system composed of two-electrode cell, salt-free organic solvent, and nanostructured electroactive soft material. A polyelectrolyte gel, poly(HEMA-co-MAPTA-PF6), with an inverse-opal structure prepared using polystyrene close-packed colloidal crystal as template. The resulting gel swollen in binary solvents exhibited monochromatic colours. colour the altered over entire visible light region changing solvent...
