Watch a Cornell ice hockey game at Lynah Rink and you'll spend three periods looking at—or rather, through—a methacrylate, a type of polymer used widely in paints, adhesives and glass substitutes. But ...

Researchers continue to explore ways to improve the performance of solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) for lithium metal batteries (LMBs), aiming to develop more efficient and sustainable energy storage ...

Polymers are organic materials that are characterized by unique properties, such as tensile strength and viscoelastic behavior under deformation. As a result, these materials are used extensively in ...
