Revision to this Wikipedia Page

At the moment, this article has a decent explanation of the basics behind two-dimensional polymers. It dives into covalently-linked polymers and supramolecular polymers with relevant and details figures. However, it lacks detail in the characterization, applications, and history sections. It appears the article has not been updated since 2017, as no newer references are listed. Much of the information comes from before 2012, even though there has been a lot of published research on two-dimensional polymers in recent years. All in-text references link appropriately, however this article lacks hyperlinks that connect this article to other relevant wikipedia articles. While the tone of the article is neutral and appropriate, overall, the article can be much improved in terms of the recency and amount of content, particularly in the applications, characterization, and history sections.

To improve this article, I plan on cross-referencing the content with more updated research from the last decade. I intentionally chose 20 sources that have been published since 2016, to make sure that all information is up-to-date and to add relevant research. I included a variety of journal articles within my bibliography (e.g. references 2, 3, 4, etc.) and reviews of research (e.g. references 1, 17, etc.) to incorporate both primary and secondary sources. Using research from recent years, I hope to improve the applications section, adding specific applications with hyperlinks to connect two-dimensional polymers to other topics. I also hope to improve the characterization sections, as this section lacks detail and clarity. These sections, along with the history section, could also benefit from relevant figures and images to enhance the clarity.
