As 2D materials have been more broadly investigated beyond the original interest in graphene, a diverse range of 2D systems has emerged, with unique electronic, optical, mechanical, and tribological properties. In some cases, such materials and interfaces have been created through doping or application of electric fields or strain in classical 2D materials. In other cases, new classes of 2D materials have been synthesized by vertically stacking various 2D materials into van der Waals heterostructures, as well as chemically distinct materials with 2D structures, including 2D COFs. 2D materials can also act as a foundation for the assembly of new molecular materials or interfaces, including through on-surface reactions, providing a platform for the creation of materials with tailored properties that can be characterized from molecular to macroscopic scales. This symposium aims to facilitate connections between emerging research communities engaged in the synthesis and characterization of 2D materials and interfaces. The interdisciplinary nature of the symposium encourages the exploration of theoretical foundations, fundamental properties, and practical applications, contributing to the ongoing development of this dynamic and rapidly evolving field.
