Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Due to numerous environmental issues, the development and sustainable storage of renewable energies is highly desired. Polymers and their composites have recently received significant attention due to their potential applications in electrode materials and electrolytes, such as high-performance supercapacitors, fuel cells, lithium-ion batteries, dye-sensitized solar cells, solid-state batteries, rechargeable batteries, phase change material, electrolyzers, electrochemical sensors, and electrochromic windows. In recent years, polymers are increasingly being employed in many areas of energy storage. This Special Issue on “Polymers for Energy Storage” covers the synthesis of advanced polymer materials, their physicochemical, optical, and electrochemical properties, the modulation of polymers and device architectures promoting highly capable energy storage and their applications, utilization of polymers in energy storage technologies, nanostructured polymers (or nano-polymers), advanced polymer-based processes for divergent energy storage applications involving a sustainable approach viz. solar energy systems, electrochemical cells, photocatalysts, artificial photosynthesis, fuel cells, supercapacitors, CO2 conversions, or rechargeable batteries and phase change materials. In addition, feature articles and review papers on the progress of polymer materials in the energy storage area are welcomed. This Special Issue aims to facilitate the advancement of research related to polymers for sustainable energy storage through original research articles.

The effect of crump rubber on the dry sliding wear behavior of epoxy composites is investigated in the present study. Wear tests are carried out for three levels of crump rubber (10, 20, and 30 vol.%), normal applied load (30, 40, and 50 [...] Read more.
The effect of crump rubber on the dry sliding wear behavior of epoxy composites is investigated in the present study. Wear tests are carried out for three levels of crump rubber (10, 20, and 30 vol.%), normal applied load (30, 40, and 50 N), and sliding distance (1, 3, and 5 km). The wear behavior of crump rubber–epoxy composites is investigated against EN31 steel discs. The hybrid mathematical approach of Taguchi-coupled Grey Relational Analysis (GRA)—Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used to examine the influence of crump rubber on the tribological response of composites. Mathematical and experimental results reveal that increasing crump rubber content reduces the wear rate of composites. Composites also show a significant decrease in specific wear values at higher applied loads. Furthermore, the coefficient of friction also shows a decreasing trend with an increase in crump rubber content, indicating the effectiveness of reinforcing crump rubber in a widely used epoxy matrix. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) results also reveal that the crump rubber content in the composite is a significant parameter to influence the wear characteristic. The post-test temperature of discs increases with an increase in the applied load, while decreasing with an increase in filler loading. Worn surfaces are analyzed using scanning electron microscopy to understand structure–property correlations. Finally, existing studies available in the literature are compared with the wear data of the present study in the form of a property map. Full article
