This study investigates the synthesis and physical properties of two novel high-performance 2D polymers, Graphimine and Graphamid, designed to address the increasing demand for advanced materials with superior mechanical, electronic, and thermal properties. These materials are particularly relevant in applications such as energy storage, protective armor, and electronics. The scope of the research includes the design, synthesis, and characterization of these polymers, both of which possess unique structural properties that make them ideal candidates for various high-performance applications. A combination of solution-phase synthesis and solid-state polymerization techniques, utilizing acid-based catalysts, was employed to form robust 2D networks with tailored properties.
The findings provide strong evidence that Graphimine and Graphamid are not only synthetically feasible but also offer substantial performance advantages over traditional 2D materials. This ongoing research lays a solid foundation for further exploration of these polymers in applied settings.
