Electrospun α-mangosteen–chitosan–poly(ethylene oxide) nanofibers

Materials Research Express, 2022
In this study, electrospun α -mangosteen–chitosan–polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofibers were produced via electrospinning process. The structure and morphology of nanofibers were evaluated through a field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and ...

Hierarchical Primary‐Secondary Coordination Synchronizes Ion Flux and Sulfur Redox in Solid Polymer Electrolytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Hierarchical coordination engineering redistributes Li+ from anion‐dominated pairing toward polymer‐mediated binding. Strong primary sites promote salt dissociation, while distributed secondary sites sustain dynamic hopping pathways. This coordination landscape couples ion flux with polysulfide conversion, suppresses transport‐conversion decoupling ...

Evolution of PEO coatings on AM50 magnesium alloy using phosphate-based electrolyte with and without glycerol and its electrochemical characterization

Journal of Magnesium and Alloys, 2020
PEO coatings were synthesized from phosphate-based (bP-PEO) and glycerol added phosphate-based (gP-PEO) electrolytes with different processing times. For both bP-PEO and gP-PEO coatings treated with different processing time its morphology, elemental and

Confined PEO crystallisation in immiscible PEO/PLLA blends

RSC Advances, 2016
PEO/PLLA blends are immiscible. PEO phase is confined into PLLA interlamellar and interspherulitic regions and a confined and fractional crystallisation of PEO occurs as the density of the PLLA crystalline phase increases.

Increasing Inter‐Micellar Connectivity Toughens and Imparts Cooling‐Induced Shape Memory in Micellar Hydrogels

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Oligomerizing Pluronic triblock copolymers provides a processing strategy for tuning the mechanical properties and stimuli‐responsive behaviors of micellar hydrogels. Varying oligomer fraction produces hydrogels spanning brittle to highly extensible responses; maintaining micellar architectures enables cooling‐induced reverse thermal shape memory and ...

Molecular Rotors: From Newtonian Fluids to Functional Materials as Viscosity and Temperature Sensing Tools

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Molecular rotors are fluorescent molecules that are sensitive to viscosity and temperature variations in the environment. They exhibit a direct correlation between fluorescence and viscosity within Newtonian fluids. However, this correlation becomes less straightforward in complex systems.

Mineral Deposition From Liquid Precursors Triggered by Complementary Polyelectrolytes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Polyelectrolyte additives can delay or prevent crystal nucleation in supersaturated solutions of insoluble mineral salts such as calcium carbonate. This work reports that adding a second, oppositely‐charged polyelectrolyte leads to immediate mineral crystallization from such metastable solutions.

Combining Hyperbranched and Linear Structures in Solid Polymer Electrolytes to Enhance Mechanical Properties and Room-Temperature Ion Transport

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021
Polyethylene oxide (PEO)-based polymers are commonly studied for use as a solid polymer electrolyte for rechargeable Li-ion batteries; however, simultaneously achieving sufficient mechanical integrity and ionic conductivity has been a challenge.
