a Schematic representation of the synthesis of 2DPI on anionic micelles. b Optical microscope images of 2DPI showing circular, sheet-like morphologies with uniform size distributions. c High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) image of 2DPI, revealing a highly ordered square lattice. Inset: Corresponding fast Fourier transform (FFT) image and inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) pattern extracted from the HR-TEM image. d Schematic representation of the synthesis of 2DPBI on cationic micelles. e Optical microscope images of 2DPBI displaying circular, sheet-like morphologies with uniform size distributions. f HR-TEM image of 2DPBI revealing a highly ordered square lattice. Inset: Corresponding FFT image and IFFT pattern extracted from the HR-TEM image. g Comparison of X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns for 2DPI and 2DPBI with simulated profiles. h Simulated molecular structure visualizations of 2DPI and 2DPBI. i Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectral analysis highlighting the distinct chemical signatures of 2DPI and 2DPBI, with peaks labeled for functional groups relevant to each polymer.
