Tailoring electrode-electrolyte-interfaces in lithium-ion batteries using molecularly engineered functional polymers

February 22, 2021
Author(s)
Laisuo Su, Jamie Weaver, Mitchell C. Groenenboom, Nathan Nakamura, Eric Rus, Priyanka Anand, Shikhar Krishn Jha, Joseph Okasinski, Joseph Dura, B Reeja-Jayan
Electrode−electrolyte interfaces (EEIs) affect the rate capability, cycling stability, and thermal safety of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Designing stable EEIs with fast Li+ transport is crucial for developing advanced LIBs. Here, we study Li+ kinetics at

Why Polymer Glasses with Enhanced Sub-nanosecond Relaxation are Tougher

February 12, 2021
Author(s)
Christopher Soles, Adam B. Burns, Kanae N. Ito, Jack F. Douglas, Robert Dimeo, Madhusudan (Madhu) Tyagi, Jingsheng Wu, Albert F. Yee, Yueh-Ting Shih, Liping Huang
This manuscript explores the connection between the fast relaxation processes in a polymer glass and essential trends in the mechanical toughness, a non-linear mechanical property that is of practical interest for engineering polymers with high impact

Polyvinyl Acetate-Based Polymer Host for Optical and Far-Infrared Spectroscopy of Individualized Nanoparticles

January 15, 2021
Author(s)
Jeffrey Fagan, Henry Wladkowski, Julian Duarte, Shashank R. Nandyala, Joshua Walker, Subash Kattel, Jeffrey Blackburn, Jon Pikal, William D. Rice
Preparation techniques for producing films of individualized, solution dispersed nanoparticles (NPs) for optical spectroscopy are often technically challenging and tailored for a specific NP system. In this work, we present a rapid, easy, and economical

Confinement and Processing Can Alter the Morphology and Periodicity of Bottlebrush Block Copolymers in Thin Films

December 22, 2020
Author(s)
Daniel Sunday, Moshe Dolejsi, Alice B. Chang, Lee J. Richter, Ruipeng Li, Paul Nealey, Robert H. Grubbs
Bottlebrush block copolymers (BBCPs) are intriguing architectural variations on linear BCPs with highly tunable structure. Confinement can have a significant impact on polymer assembly, giving rise to changes in morphology, assembly kinetics, and properties
