Moore and Rogers Research Reviewed in Nanowerk News

MATERIALS SCIENCE
Nanowerk News (Honolulu, June 3) -- Researchers at Illinois have developed new synthetic strategies for forming monolayer films of conjugated carbon, in various configurations ranging from flat sheets, to balloons, tubes and pleated sheets. These monolayer membranes developed by John Rogers, a U. of I. professor of materials science and engineering, together with his organic chemist collaborators in the group of Jeff Moore, a professor of chemistry at Illinois, are sufficiently robust to be suspended over 440-nm diameter holes without tearing.
