TL;DR: A novel approach for synthesizing free-standing, covalently bonded, single-monomer-thick 2D polymers in solution without any preorganization of building blocks on solid surfaces or interfaces is presented by employing shape-directed covalent self-assembly of rigid, disk-shaped building blocks having laterally predisposed reactive groups on their periphery.

TL;DR: B-doped graphene nanoplatelets with desirable electrical properties can be prepared by the simultaneous reduction and boron-doping of graphene oxide (GO) at a high annealing temperature and can be used in other applications such as electrocatalyst and nano-electronics because of their reliable and controllable electrical properties.

TL;DR: From molecular dynamics simulations of hard discs that 2D colloids in solid and hexatic phases show seemingly Fickian but strongly heterogeneous dynamics, the existence of several such peaks is attributed to the observation that there are several clusters of discs with discretized mobility.

TL;DR: It is found that one may increase the electrical conductivity of silver nanowire/polymer nanocomposites by up to about 8 orders of magnitude by introducing silica nanoparticles with nanocomPOSites, thus improving the dispersion ofsilver nanowires.

TL;DR: The simulations reproduce the non-Gaussian Brownian diffusion of the tracer, implying that this behavior is a general feature of colloidal dynamics and is a consequence of local heterogeneities on intermediate time scales.
