RSC Applied Polymers Blog

To celebrate the growth and development of the RSC Applied Polymers community and to highlight the remarkable authors who continue to contribute their high quality work to the journal, we would like to share the opinions and insights of these authors through this introductory blog post. Once dubbed #RSCAppliedfirst50, our blog posts aim to give a voice to the authors behind the research and hope that their insights might shed light upon growing challenges and progress in polymer science and its applications.

In this edition, we hear from Taohedul Islam and Xiangbo Meng from University of Arkansas, USA, as they discuss their recently published article, ‘Ambient-processed bio-based solid polymer electrolyte for solid-state batteries‘.
