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 post we feature an introduction to ”Inherent limitations of the hydrogen-bonding UPy motif as self-healing functionality for polymer electrolytes’ by Cuc Thu Mai, Harish Gudla, Guiomar Hernández, Kristina Edström and Jonas Mindemark.
