A polymer hybrid solid electrolyte that possesses high room temperature ionic conductivity, very low interfacial resistance with the electrodes and electrochemical stability window up to 5.2 volts. The polymer-ceramic hybrid solid electrolyte includes: a PEO based copolymer electrolyte; a solvate ionic liquid (SIL); and a salt of a monovalent cation. The inclusion of an ionically conductive additive, such as a ceramic fine powder, can further improve ionic conductivity as well as mechanical properties.

Polymer-based hybrid solid electrolyte that exhibits high room temperature ionic conductivity

Phase separated self-healing polymer coatings having a 'biphasic' thermoset/thermoplastic morphology to achieve self-healing. The biphasic structure has: (i) a major 'load-bearing' thermoset phase that has superior strength and performs major mechanical and structural functions, and (ii) a &#x201c;self-healing&#x201d; phase of a thermoplastic healing agent to repair the material and restore its mechanical and structural integrity after being damaged. The phase-separated morphology is achieved through phase separation via a reaction process.

Phase separated self-healing polymer coatings

Phase separated self-healing polymeric wood coatings having a 'biphasic' thermoset/thermoplastic morphology to achieve self-healing. The biphasic structure has: (i) a major 'load-bearing' thermoset phase that has superior strength and performs major mechanical and structural functions, and (ii) a &#x201c;self-healing&#x201d; phase of a thermoplastic healing agent to repair the material and restore its mechanical and structural integrity after being damaged. The phase-separated morphology is achieved through phase separation via a reaction process. Methodologies for achieving the above mentioned &#x201c;biphasic&#x201d; structure in solvent borne thermally cured resin, waterborne resin, and solvent borne UV-curable resin are described.

Self-healing polymer nanocomposite coatings for use on surfaces made of wood

Nanoscale additives and methodology for their use during polymer-aided sludge dewatering to increase the dewatering efficiency compared to traditionally used polymer-only dewatering processes. The nanoscale additive increases the percent solids in the dewatered cake compared to polymer-only treatment. When the nanoscale additives are added, the centrifugal force (shear) required to obtain high percent solids can be significantly reduced and the optimum polymer dose required for effective dewatering is also significantly reduced.

Use of nanoscale particles (nanoadditives) with cationic polymers to enhance conditioning and dewatering of sludge

A silicone based coating for fabrics utilizing dual nanocomposite fillers providing enhanced mechanical and thermal properties to the silicone base. The first filler includes nanoclusters of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and a metal oxide and a second filler of exfoliated clay nanoparticles. The coating is particularly suitable for inflatable fabrics used in several space, military, and consumer applications, including airbags, parachutes, rafts, boat sails, and inflatable shelters.
