All materials are subject to fatigue and environmental wear and tear, which causes them to degrade over time. This affects the properties of the material and eventually leads to their failure.

Electrochemical processes in devices like solar cells, fuel cells, lithium batteries, and water desalination systems rely on the safe, efficient, and robust transport of anions and cations between ...

Of all the materials that might conceivably be used to store hydrogen gas, organic polymers would not seem, at first glance, to be promising candidates. Nonetheless, they are now being investigated to ...

Beyond Anticancer Therapeutics: Polymer–Drug Conjugates for the Treatment of Diseases other than Cancer In the last decade, the field of polymer–drug conjugates has expanded towards novel therapeutic ...

Measurements of hardness or modulus are not usually helpful in studying time-dependent deformation of a material. It is essential to match load functions in order to make sure that measurements are ...
