Multifunctional porous polymer nanofilms, thinner than a human hair and stronger than stainless steel, revolutionize several industries with their ultra-thin, high strength, and transparency. These films are notable for their exceptional mechanical properties and adjustability, making them the strongest and most transparent among ultra-thin films. Their high gas permeability and tunable porosity enable groundbreaking applications in water purification, flexible electronics, healthcare devices, and energy storage. They are key in producing flexible displays, antibacterial coatings, ultra-thin batteries, and high-density capacitors. Additionally, their potential in membrane distillation for desalination and use in innovative products like nanovibrational speakers and motion sensors showcase their versatility and impact.
