Beyond water activity: recent advances based on an alternative approach to the assessment of food quality and safety
TL;DR: The effects of water, as a near-universal solvent and plasticizer, on the behavior of polymeric (as well as oligomeric and monomeric) food materials and systems, are reviewed, with emphasis on the impact of water content (in terms of increasing system mobility and eventual water "availability") on food quality, safety, stability, and technological performance.

Review of gel-type polymer electrolytes for lithium-ion batteries
TL;DR: In this paper, the advantages and characteristics of employing polymer electrolytes in solid-state lithium-ion batteries are discussed, and some critical concepts and points associated with this emerging technology that still require attention are discussed.

A tough biodegradable elastomer
TL;DR: A tough biodegradable elastomer is designed, synthesized, and characterized from biocompatible monomers that forms a covalently crosslinked, three-dimensional network of random coils with hydroxyl groups attached to its backbone.

Mechanical properties of hydrogels and their experimental determination.
TL;DR: This work has shown that the mechanical properties of hydrogels are highly dependent on the polymer structure, especially the cross-linking density and the degree of swelling, and methods for controlling the properties were presented.

Introduction to polymer spectroscopy
TL;DR: In this article, the ESCA spectrum of valence electrons is used to detect the presence of molecules in polymers and to measure the amount of molecules present in the polymers.
