Uniform trehalose nanogels for glucagon stabilization

Uniform trehalose nanogels improve stability and solubility of glucagon in aqueous solution, particularly useful for long term storage at cold temperatures. Additionally, the glucagon nanogels were nontoxic, nonhemolytic, and efficacious in vitro.

Ion conduction and phase behaviour in dual cation polyelectrolyte blends for sodium-ion batteries

The goal of this work is to develop polymer-based solid-state electrolytes for sodium-ion battery applications. Two polymers are blended in order to reduce the Tg and decouple ionic conductivity from polymer segmental motion. Furthermore, the addition of plasticizers further enhances the ionic conductivity.
