Building a better hydrogen trap
Thursday, November 17, 2005
"Using building blocks that make up ordinary plastics, but putting them together in a whole new way, University of Michigan researchers have created a class of lightweight, rigid polymers they predict will be useful for storing hydrogen fuel. The work is described in the Nov. 18 in today's (Nov. 17) issue of the journal Science. The trick to making the new materials, called covalent organic frameworks (COFs), was coaxing them to assume predictable crystal structures—something that never had been done with rigid plastics."
