By applying uniaxial stretching to a fluorinated polymer electrolyte, the team achieved approximately 78% capacity retention after 200 charge-discharge cycles. This performance marks a distinct ...

Few scientists have shed more light on how polymers move around and orient themselves on the molecular level than Timothy P. Lodge, 55, professor of chemistry at the University of Minnesota. Much of ...

Ion mobility in battery electrolytes strongly influences battery performance. Multi nuclear diffusion NMR allows direct observation of the mobility of different ions, because they contain different ...

A research team affiliated with UNIST has demonstrated a simple yet effective method to extend the lifespan of ...

Polymer physicists are today reporting the unexpected and previously unknown behavior of a charged macromolecule such as DNA embedded in a charged hydrogel, where it displays what they call a ...

Plastics are long chains of specific polymers. The use of plastics has grown significantly owing to their high strength, high stiffness, high formability, and lightweight. Additionally, the most ...

Solute mobility in cuticular membranes (CMs) of 14 plant species (Citrus aurantium L., Citrus grandis L., Hedera helix L., Ilex aquifolium L., Ilex paraguariensis St ...
