In this paper, we systematically proposed the strategy of tailoring strain delocalization to
evade long-standing strength-ductility trade-off dilemma. The scientific contribution is to …

Polymer nanocomposite dielectrics possess exceptional electric properties that are absent
in the pristine dielectric polymers. The matrix/particle interface in polymer nanocomposite …

The lightweight and high-strength functional nanocomposites are important in many
practical applications. Natural biomaterials with excellent mechanical properties provide …

Polymer coatings of nanometric thickness are about to enter in everyday life as part of a
wide range of applications such as protective layers, stimuli-responsive membranes or as …

Interfaces play an important role in modifying the dynamics of polymers confined to the
nanoscale. We demonstrate that the distance over which an interface suppresses molecular …

In order to achieve a fast and accurate prediction for remaining useful life (RUL) of proton
exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), an improved degradation model named RCLMA …

The glass transition temperature (T g) of polymer thin films, one of the most important
parameters to characterize the relaxation behavior of polymer chains in a thin film, has been …

We employ a fluorescence bilayer method to directly measure the glass transition
temperature (T g) of the irreversibly adsorbed layer of polystyrene (PS) buried in bulk films …

We present a detailed analysis of coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations of
semiflexible polymer melts in contact with a strongly adsorbing substrate. We have …

When cooled at constant rate, a 25 nm thin film of poly (4-tert-butylstyrene) vitrifies 50 K
lower than in bulk. This record sets the largest depression in thermal glass transition …
