Faculty of Engineering and Information Sciences - Papers: Part A

Three polyimide membranes (polymer 0CN, copolymers 0CN/2CN (50/50) and polymer 2CN), with and without [Formula presented] dipolar groups, have been prepared by electrospinning and evaluated as lithium-ion battery separators. The prepared membranes show average fiber diameters between 0.5 and 1.09 μm and a degree of porosity of ~ 80%. The thermal stability, uptake, tortuosity and ionic conductivity values are influenced by the presence of the [Formula presented] dipolar groups in the polyimide polymer chain. The best battery performance in LFP/Li system is obtained for the 0CN sample, which shows discharge capacity values of 149.7 mAh·g− 1, 146.5 mAh·g− 1 and …

A scale-multiplicative semigroup in a totally disconnected, locally compact group G is one for which the restriction of the scale function on G is multiplicative The maximal scale-multiplicative semigroups in groups acting 2-transitively on the set of ends of trees without leaves are determined and shown to correspond to geometric features of the tree.
