Their work could lead to the design of a new class of super-strong, lightweight materials for use as construction and repair materials for spacecraft, airplanes, and other applications. Their study is scheduled for the July 14 issue of ACS' Biomacromolecules. http://www.physorg.com/news135253984.html Chemistry Mon, 14 Jul 2008 11:33:04 EST news135253984
