Microporous organic polymers (MOPs) are composed entirely of covalently linked organic molecules. These materials are characterized by their high surface areas, permanent microporosity, and structural ...

One of the specific thrusts of the UAB Chemistry Department is in the area of materials research. Generally, we have classified these materials into organic (polymer) and inorganic materials. We have ...

Aqueous batteries have been around for centuries. They are safe and relatively low-cost, but their adoption in new energy storage systems - such as grid storage and electric vehicles - has been ...

The inability to alter intrinsic piezoelectric behavior in organic polymers hampers their application in flexible, wearable and biocompatible devices, according to researchers, but now a molecular ...

The organic polymer PEDOT is probably one of the world's most intensely studied materials. Despite this, researchers have now demonstrated that the material functions in a completely different manner ...

Comprehending the thermal, chemical, and mechanical stability and physical characteristics of polymers is key to development success. The following case studies summarize experimental methods and data ...

Metal-organic networks have gained much attention due to their high surface areas and tunable structures, which underpin ...
