A universal surfactant-monolayer-assisted interfacial synthesis platform produces large-area, highly crystalline two-dimensional polymer crystals with ~28 cm² lateral size and tunable ~1–200 nm thickness.
- Why it matters: Two-dimensional polymers need precise, scalable synthesis to preserve long-range order and nanopore-defined sieving, but existing routes limit control over crystallinity and dimensions.
- What they did: The protocol uses on-water surface reactivity with surfactants such as sodium oleyl sulfate and sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate to guide monomer-programmed 2D polymerization and crystallization, then collects films by horizontal dipping and washing.
- The result: It yields many 2DP types (including 2D polyamide, polyimide, polyimine, and others) with single-domain areas up to ~160 μm² and synthesis times of 2–14 days, enabling device integration in electronics, membranes, and energy systems.
