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 Marissa Gallmeyer, Thorfinnur A. H. Baldvinsson and RSC Applied Polymers Emerging Investigator Whitney S. Loo as they discuss their recently published article ‘Perspective: ion transport mechanisms and the significance of glass transition temperature in PEO-based polymer blend electrolytes for next-generation Li-batteries‘.
