Small-molecule battery electrolytes are composed of mixtures of high-polarity and low-
viscosity solvents at compositions that optimize ionic conductivity. In this work, we examined …

Double quantum (DQ) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was used to characterize the
crosslink density, crosslink density distribution, and defect level in a series of heat and oil …

Nanosized particles have a large surface area to facilitate interfacial contact and thus are
promising fillers for polymers. However, poor dispersion of nanoparticles limits the …

Protective Polymer Coatings (PPCs) have been proposed to protect lithium metal anodes in
rechargeable batteries to stabilize the Li/electrolyte interface and to extend the cycle life by …

Nitrile rubber (ie, NBR) is a crosslinked copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile that finds
widespread use in the automotive and aerospace industry as it sustains large, reversible …

A water hydraulic flexible gripper with three flexible actuators is proposed, which integrates
a soft external skin and a flexible inner skeleton to enhance resistance against water …

This contribution investigates the aging property changes and mechanism of nitrile rubber
(NBR) under the combined radiation-thermal environments. Aging leads to decreased …
