Will Dichtel and researchers from the Dichtel Group have unveiled the first 2D mechanically interlocked polymer. This nanoscale material, resembling chainmail, offers exceptional flexibility and strength. With potential applications in lightweight body armor, this innovation represents a significant breakthrough in durable, high-performance materials.
Researchers in the Malapit Group have repurposed triphenylphosphine oxide (TPPO), an industrial waste product, as a storage agent for redox flow batteries. This breakthrough offers a sustainable, metal-free alternative for energy storage, advancing efforts to transition to greener and more scalable energy solutions.
