Study of flexible nanodielectric materials (FNDMs) with high permittivity is one of the most
active academic research areas in advanced functional materials. FNDMs with excellent …

Conduction has been one of the main barriers to further improvements in Li-ion batteries
and is expected to remain so for the foreseeable future. In an effort to gain a better …

Hydrogels, soft 3D materials of cross-linked hydrophilic polymer chains with a high water
content, have found numerous applications in biomedicine because of their similarity to …

Dramatic changes in the physical properties of composites occur when filler particles form a
percolating network through the composite, particularly when the difference between the …

We present an in-depth critical review of major experimental, simulation, and theoretical
work in the field of conducting polymer nanocomposites containing rod-like particles such as …

It has been established that the addition of synthetic fibers like polypropylene (PP) to ultra-
high performance concrete (UHPC) enhances the latter's thermal spalling resistance. The …

Biotemplated synthesis of functional nanomaterials has received increasing attention for
applications in energy, catalysis, bioimaging, and other technologies. This approach is …

Ultralight polymer sponges are prepared by freeze‐drying of dispersions of short
electrospun fibers. In contrast to many other highly porous materials, these sponges show …

We noted that the tunneling-percolation framework is quite well understood at the extreme
cases of percolationlike and hoppinglike behaviors but that the intermediate regime has not …

Small quantities of graphene fillers in the polymeric matrix allow us to obtain a novel class of
lightweight nanocomposites with outstanding electrical properties. The availability of …
