Controlling the Properties of Ion Containing Polymers, Hydrogels and Membranes
· Invited
Abstract
Ionic materials are leading candidates for neuromorphic applications. Here we explore the physical properties, including structure, ion transport and reconfigurability of ion-containing polymers, gels and membranes in bulk and confinement for ionic devices utilization. We design, analyze, and characterize the functions of these responsive polymer composites in the presence of external fields.
