Monolithic nanofoam based on conjugated microporous polymer nanotubes with ultrahigh mechanical strength and flexibility for energy storage

Conjugated microporous polymer (CMP) nanotube based monolithic nanofoams were synthesized to possess excellent flexibility, robust elasticity and ultrahigh compressive strength, which would greatly enhance their processability for real applications. The findings of this investigation may open a simple and new route to fabricate “soft” CMPs for specific use in the future.
