Rheological and structural characterization of 3D-printable polymer electrolyte inks

Direct ink writing (DIW) is an extrusion-based technique that is increasingly used for extrusion of gel and quasi-solid polymer electrolytes for energy-based devices. Due to their high tunability in viscoelastic properties, poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based inks are prime candidates as functional sub...
