Polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) are an emerging class of materials that combine the attractive
properties of ionic liquids with the sequence complexity and mechanical characteristics of …

Molecular modeling and simulations are invaluable tools for the polymer science and
engineering community. These computational approaches enable predictions and provide …

Materials often exhibit a trade-off between stiffness and extensibility; for example,
strengthening elastomers by increasing their cross-link density leads to embrittlement and …

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

Ion-conducting polymer membranes are essential in many separation processes and
electrochemical devices, including electrodialysis, redox flow batteries, fuel cells and …

The usual understanding in polymer electrolyte design is that an increase in the polymer
dielectric constant results in reduced ion aggregation and therefore increased ionic …

Soft materials are usually defined as materials made of mesoscopic entities, often self-
organised, sensitive to thermal fluctuations and to weak perturbations. Archetypal examples …

Multiple computational and experimental techniques are used to understand the nanoscale
morphology and water/proton transport properties in a series of sulfonated Diels–Alder poly …

We describe a set of precise single-ion conducting polymers that form self-assembled
percolated ionic aggregates in glassy polymer matrices and have decoupled transport of …

A scaling model for the structure of coacervates is presented for mixtures of oppositely
charged polyelectrolytes of both symmetric and asymmetric charge densities for different …
