Multiple computational and experimental techniques are used to understand the nanoscale
morphology and water/proton transport properties in a series of sulfonated Diels–Alder poly …

The understanding of the relationship between the chemical structure and the hydrophilic
structure is crucial for the designing of high-performance PEMs. Comparative studies in …

“Patchy particles”, where the surface is anisotropically patterned through variation in the
surface composition, can assemble into different colloidal crystal structures as well as act as …

Dynamically inhomogeneous polymer systems exhibit interphases with mobility gradients.
These are believed to play key roles in the material's performance. A prominent example is …

A coarse-grained model previously used to simulate Nafion using dissipative particle
dynamics (DPD) is modified to describe sulfonated Diels-Alder poly (phenylene)(SDAPP) …

Solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and small-to wide-angle X-ray
scattering (SWAXS) methods were used to characterize the heterogeneous dynamics and …

A large system containing heteropoly acids (HPAs) and Nafion® 117 was simulated and
studied to verify whether the additive particles affect the formation of the water percolating …

The importance of predicting the diffusion coefficient to describe the diffusion process in
glassy polymers is obvious. However, most of the direct measurements of diffusion …

The nature of microhydration in sulfonated Diels–Alder poly (phenylene)(SDAPP) polymer
membranes is explored using ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) electronic …

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spin diffusion measurements have been widely used to
estimate domain sizes in a variety of polymer materials. In cases where the domains are well …
