Fluorinated Polymer, Method of Making, and Use in Electrochemical Cell

Low specific capacity and low charge/discharge rate of current cathodic materials are the bottle-neck for the next generation electrochemical energy storage devices, particularly for “on-demand applications.” Current batteries rely on transition metal salts (e.g. LiMO2, LiMPO4) and mixed metal oxide lithium salts as cathodic materials. The...

Antimicrobial Polymers and Coatings

Microorganisms have strong abilities to survive on the surfaces of ordinary materials; some species of microorganisms, including drug-resistant strains, can stay alive for more than 90 days. Contaminated materials may serve as significant and important sources for cross-contamination and cross-infection. One of the potential methods to reduce such risks...

Carbon Fiber Innovation

Carbon fiber is a material consisting of microscopic fibers composed mostly of carbon atoms. Addition of carbon nanotubes to industrial polymers greatly increases their mechanical strength; carbon fiber-reinforced polymer is an exceptionally strong and light form of reinforced plastic also containing carbon fibers. Although these polymers can be expensive...
