New NSF grant on polymer electrolyte membrane. Congratulations!
Lithium-ion batteries are the systems of choice for portable electronic devices because they offer high-energy density, flexible and lightweight design and long lifespan. If lithium metal is used to …
We received NSF grant to study polymer crystallization at liquid-liquid interface. Congrats!
http://www.materials.drexel.edu/news/2013/06/li-receives-nsf-grant-for-polymer-crystallization-at-curved-liquidliquid-interface/ Curved space is incommensurate with typical ordered structures with three-dimensional (3D) translational symmetry. In this project, Li proposes to investigate packing crystalline polymer chains in a curved incommensurate space …
