"After the polymer is formed, there's not a whole lot holding the structure together," Dichtel said. "So, when we put it in solvent, the crystal dissolves, but each 2D layer holds together.

Chemists at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a method for producing new macromolecules with improved properties by modifying the polymers in discarded plastics.

“After the polymer is formed, there’s not a whole lot holding the structure together,” he added. “So, when we put it in solvent, the crystal dissolves, but each 2D layer holds togethe ...
