Transport of ions through solid polymeric electrolytes (SPEs) involves a complicated
interplay of ion solvation, ion–ion interactions, ion-polymer interactions, and free volume …

Unlike a crystal, a glassy solid state displays slow internal relaxation processes besides
vibrational modes even when structural (α) relaxation is frozen. The precise nature of such …

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have become ubiquitous in a variety of industrial and
pharmaceutical applications since their discovery. However, the fundamental understanding …

To develop structure–property relationships for cross-linked thermosetting polymers, it is
crucial to better understand key factors that control their segmental dynamics and …

We investigate the fast β-and Johari–Goldstein (JG) β-relaxation processes, along with the
elastic scattering response of glass-forming (GF) liquids and the boson peak, in a simulated …

Grain boundary diffusion in polycrystalline materials is a physical phenomenon of great
fundamental interest and practical significance. Although accelerated atomic transport along …

Cross-linking is known to play a pivotal role in the relaxation dynamics and mechanical
properties of thermoset polymers, which are commonly used in structural applications …

We extend previous systematic investigations of a family of model coarse-grained polymer
network-forming materials by focusing on the influence of varying molecular rigidity on basic …

The emergence of the solid state in glass-forming materials upon cooling is accompanied by
changes in both thermodynamic and viscoelastic properties and by a precipitous drop in …

Glass-forming liquids are broadly classified as being fragile or strong, depending on the
deviation from Arrhenius behavior of their relaxation times. A fragile to strong crossover is …
