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,

Wind turbine blades face a harsh environment in which erosion of the leading edge is a major factor for in-use maintenance. Current industrial practices to address this leading edge erosion are replacement of reinforcing materials upon significant damage infliction.

In additive manufacturing, choice of process parameters for a given material and geometry can result in porosities in the build volume, which can result in scrap.

Through utilizing a two function splice we can increase the splice strength for opposing tows.

This is a novel approach to enhance the performance and durability of all-solid-state batteries (ASSBs) by focusing on two primary components: the Si anode and the thin electrolyte integration.

We proposed and developed a carbon nanofiber (CNF) suspension-based sizing agent, that resulted in improved interfacial, and mechanical properties. The CNF dispersed sizing agent can be applied in a relatively simpler way (by passing the continuous tow through it). 

The lack of real-time insights into how materials evolve during laser powder bed fusion has limited the adoption by inhibiting part qualification.  The developed approach provides key data needed to fabricate born qualified parts.

Fabrication methods are needed that are easily scalable, will enable facile manufacturing of SSEs that are < 50 µm thick to attain high energy density, and also exhibit good stability at the interface of the anode. Specifically, Wu et al.

We developed and incorporated two innovative mPET/Cu and mPET/Al foils as current collectors in LIBs to enhance cell energy density under XFC conditions.
