Partition coefficients (LogP) help to quantify hydrophobicity, which can be used to guide the
design of polymer electrolytes with targeted properties. Thus, this study combined synthetic …

The current trend for future flame retardants (FRs) goes to novel efficient halogen-free
materials, due to the ban of several halogenated FRs. Among the most promising …

The paper presents a new approach in the field of precise electrolytic conductivity
measurements with planar thin-and thick-film electrodes. This novel measuring method was …

The morphology, relaxation properties, and conductivity of the statistical copolymer
polystyrenic (alkoxy 1 H-tetrazole-co-alkoxy nitrile), an anhydrous proton conductor, were …

Proton conducting membranes based on polymers containing sulfonic acid and tetrazole
moieties were developed. Successful syntheses of poly (acrylonitrile‐co‐styrene sulfonic …

To elucidate the driving forces for phase separation and proton conductivity in polystyrenic
alkoxy 1H‐tetrazole (PS‐Tet), an analogous polystyrenic alkoxy carboxylic acid (PS‐HA) …

Chapter 1 is the introduction of carbon dioxide (CO2) and cyclic organic carbonate.
Considering CO2 is a renewable carbon feed stock, the catalytic conversion of CO2 and …

For low temperature hydrogen fuel cells to achieve widespread adoption in transport
applications, it is necessary to both decrease their cost and improve the range of …
