Engineered 2D Polymers: Current Status and Future Trend

Extending the concept of synthesizing 2 d polymer sheets has been explored in this mini review to highlight about the future potentials inherent with this important class of engineered materials.The discovery of graphene (i.e.mechanically and chemically robust highly crystalline nano sheets with extremely high charge carrier mobility) not only dispelled the thermodynamic instability of 2D materials but also established it as a material for ultrafast, and low power nanoelectronic devices besides motivating to look for other 2D materials to get rid of the zero band gap limitation of graphene causing poor 'on/off' ratio for switching applications.
