Materials

Generating energy models from scratch is a costly and time consuming task. A detailed energy model can have thousands of input parameters that are necessary for a complete simulation of a building. A solution to this problem is the AutoBEMGen framework.

The technology will offer supportless DIW of complex structures using vinyl ester resin, facilitated by multidirectional 6 axis printing.

The present invention is a carbon nanofiber composite for use as the cathode matrix in an alkali-metal polysulfide flow battery. The CNF composite demonstrates an improvement in sulfur utilization compared to carbon paper alone.

Efficient thermal management in polymers is essential for developing lightweight, high-strength materials with multifunctional capabilities.

This invention utilizes a custom-synthesized vinyl trifluoromethanesulfonimide (VTFSI) salt and an alcohol containing small molecule or polymer for the synthesis of novel single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes for the use in Li-ion and beyond Li-ion batteries, fuel cells,

The disclosure is directed to optimized fiber geometries for use in carbon fiber reinforced polymers with increased compressive strength per unit cost. The disclosed fiber geometries reduce the material processing costs as well as increase the compressive strength.

Enzymes for synthesis of sequenced oligoamide triads and tetrads that can be polymerized into sequenced copolyamides.

We tested 48 diverse homologs of SfaB and identified several enzyme variants that were more active than SfaB at synthesizing the nylon-6,6 monomer.

PET is used in many commercial products, but only a fraction is mechanically recycled, and even less is chemically recycled.

Developed a novel energy efficient, cost-effective, environmentally friendly process for separation of lithium from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries.
