Polymer with honeycomb structure: Sscientists synthesize graphene-like material

Friday, November 20, 2009 - 11:21 in Physics & Chemistry

Two-dimensional carbon layers, so-called graphenes, are regarded as a possible substitute for silicon in the semiconductor industry. The electronic properties of these layers can be varied by “building in” specific arrays of holes in their structure. Physicists and chemists have, for the first time, succeeded in synthesizing a graphene-like porous polymer with atomic accuracy.
