Effect of Ionic Liquids on the Structure of Ionomer Inks

July 28, 2025
Author(s)
Tyler Martin, Kimber Stamm Masias
This study investigates the impact of ionic liquids (ILs) on the structure and performance of catalyst inks used in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Using contrast variation small-angle neutron scattering (CV-SANS), we elucidate the structural

Event Report for "MLXN25: Machine Learning for X-ray and Neutron Scattering"

July 3, 2025
Author(s)
Peter Beaucage, Tanny Andrea Chavez Esparza, Alexander Hexemer, Tyler Martin, Peter Muller-Buschbaum, Stephan Roth, Xiaoping Wang
The MLXN25 virtual event was held on April 15, 2025, as a continuous 24-hour global event, uniting over 300 registered participants from 18 countries and 20 user facilities to discuss how machine learning (ML) is transforming X-ray and neutron science

An Autonomous Agent for Soft Material Structural Optimization and Discovery

June 6, 2025
Author(s)
Tyler Martin, Austin McDannald, Aaron Kusne, Peter Beaucage
The pace of formulation (re)development and design is rapidly increasing as both consumers and new legislation demand products that do less harm to the environment while maintaining high standards of performance. To meet this need, we have developed an

Correlating Near-Infrared Spectra to Bulk Properties in Polyolefins

February 28, 2024
Author(s)
Bradley Sutliff, Shailja Goyal, Tyler Martin, Peter Beaucage, Debra Audus, Sara Orski
The industry standard for sorting plastic wastes is near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, which offers rapid and nondestructive identification of various plastics. However, NIR does not provide insights into the chain composition, conformation, and topology of

Small Angle Neutron Scattering of P(NDI2OD-T2) Solutions: Importance of Network Structure on Data Interpretation and Film Morphology

January 9, 2024
Author(s)
Wen Liang Tan, Linjing Tang, Rukiya Matsidik, Gary Bryant, Tyler Martin, Michael Sommer, David Huang, Christopher McNeill
Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) is used to study the solution-phase behavior of the well-studied n-type semiconducting polymer P(NDI2OD-T2). To provide a global overview of polymer behavior, four different molecular weight samples are studied in

Correlating the Diffusion of Water in Model Polyamides with Controlled Crosslink Densities to the Performance in Reverse Osmosis Membranes for Desalination

April 18, 2023
Author(s)
Velencia Witherspoon, Kanae Ito, Chad R. Snyder, Madhusudan (Madhu) Tyagi, Tyler Martin, Peter Beaucage, Ryan Nieuwendaal, Richard Vallery, David Gidley, Jeffrey Wilbur, Dean Welsh, Christopher Stafford, Christopher Soles
To elucidate robust design cues for improving the active polyamide (PA) filtration layers in reverse osmosis (RO) membrane for desalination, we systematically reduce the cross-link density of a PA network based on m-phenylene diamine by substituting a

Enhanced Proton Selectivity in Ionomer Nanocomposites Containing Hydrophobically Functionalized Silica Nanoparticles for Vanadium Redox Flow Batteries

January 4, 2021
Author(s)
Allison Domhoff, Tyler Martin, Liyanage M. Silva, Mansour Saberi, Stephen Creager, Eric Davis
Perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) ionomers are ubiquitous as proton-exchange membranes (PEMs) in vanadium redox flow batteries (VRFBs), as they provide high proton conductivity and robust chemical stability. However, traditional PFSA ionomers suffer from high

The Concentration Dependence of the Size and Symmetry of a Bottlebrush Polymer in a Good Solvent

August 7, 2020
Author(s)
Daniel F. Sunday, Alexandros Chremos, Tyler B. Martin, Alice B. Chang, Adam B. Burns, Robert H. Grubbs
Bottlebrush polymers consist of a linear backbone with densely grafted sidechains which impact the rigidity of the molecule. The persistence length of the bottlebrush backbone in solution is influenced by both the intrinsic structure of the polymer and by

Design and Implementation of pyPRISM: A Polymer Liquid-State Theory Framework

June 15, 2018
Author(s)
Tyler B. Martin, Thomas E. Gartner, Ronald L. Jones, Chad R. Snyder, Arthi Jayaraman
Polymer Reference Interaction Site Model (PRISM) theory describes the equilibrium spatial- correlations, thermodynamics, and structure of liquid- like polymer systems and macromolecular materials. Here, we describe the code structure, implementation, and
