No longer is it dogma that the stiffer a polymeric material is, the less stretchable it has to be.

"We manufacture bulk polymeric systems, metals and ceramics, but they're passive. The constituents don't store energy and then convert it to mechanical work the way every single living system does."

"Whether in space-based communication devices or medical imaging equipment like MRI machines, these lightweight MXene-coated polymeric structures have the potential to replace traditional manufacturing methods such as metal machining for creating channel structures," he adds.

"We anticipate that we will be able to use what we have learned to study other polymeric antibodies, like those from birds, and build novel, therapeutic antibodies."

However, current PRC using nanophotonic structures are limited by its high cost and poor compatibility with existing end uses, while polymeric photonic alternatives lack weather resistance and effective solar reflection.
