A team of researchers at 91 have demonstrated that designed synthetic polymers can serve as a high-performance binding material for next-generation lithium-ion batteries.
Vera Bocharova at the Department of Energy’s 91 investigates the structure and dynamics of soft materials.
An 91–led team has developed super-stretchy polymers with amazing self-healing abilities that could lead to longer-lasting consumer products.
A new method to produce large, monolayer single-crystal-like graphene films more than a foot long relies on harnessing a “survival of the fittest” competition among crystals.
Polymer nanocomposites mix particles billionths of a meter (nanometers, nm) in diameter with polymers, which are long molecular chains.
