There is considerable interest in developing solid electrolytes for rechargeable lithium batteries as they have the potential to increase both energy d. due to incorporation of a lithium metal anode and safety of batteries due to the fact that they are non ...
The invention provides methods for the preparation of multiblock copolymers, dispersions of multiblock copolymers, vesicles and micelles containing multiblock copolymers, and oxidative degradation products of multiblock copolymers. ...
In this Article, we studied the surface immobilization of five organic-acid-modified atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiators based on salicylic acid, catechol, phthalic acid, and m- and p-benzoic add on alumina, and we also investigated the ...
We will describe the design principles by which naked nanocrystals (i.e. Those stripped of their native ligands) can be architectured into diverse 3-D mesoscale materials using block copolymers. Various polymer-architecturing paradigms will be discussed fr ...
Replacing the liq. electrolyte in lithium batteries by a solid has been a long-standing goal of the battery industry due to the promise of better safety and the potential to produce batteries with higher energy densities. Recently, sym. polystyrene-block-p ...
Post-polymerization modification is a powerful strategy to endow polymers with functional groups that cannot be incorporated via direct polymerization. This manuscript explores the reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization (RAFT) of p ...
Low-cost antireflection coatings (ARCs) on large optical surfaces are an ingredient-technology for high-performance solar cells. While nanoporous thin films that meet the zero-reflectance conditions on transparent substrates can be cheaply manufactured, th ...
Water-dispersible, polymer-wrapped nanocrystals are highly sought after for use in biol. and chem., from nanomedicine to catalysis. The hydrophobicity of their native ligand shell, however, is a significant barrier to their aq. transfer as single particles ...
The influence of temperature and moisture activity on the viscoelastic behavior of fluorinated membranes for fuel cell applications was investigated. Uncrosslinked and crosslinked ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE)-based proton-conducting membranes were p ...
