Influence of Molecular Weight and Lithium Bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide on the Thermal Processability of Poly(ethylene oxide) for Solid-State Electrolytes.

New energy systems such as all-solid-state battery (ASSB) technology are becoming increasingly important today. Recently, researchers have been investigating the transition from the lab-scale production of ASSB components to a larger scale. Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) is a promising candidate for the large-scale production of polymer-based solid electrolytes (SPEs) because it offers many processing options.

The shear dependence of the methylcellulose gelation phenomena in aqueous solution and in ceramic paste.

The gelation temperature of methylcellulose (MC) in aqueous solutions as well as in aqueous ceramic paste depends on the applied shear. Rheological investigations in oscillation vs. shear mode show lower gelation temperature at low shear rates as for the corresponding angular frequencies.
