Russell Composto
Professor and Howell Family Faculty Fellow
Departments of Materials Science and Engineering, Bioengineering, & Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
Energy Research Interests: The Composto group investigates solid polymer electrolytes prepared from polymer nanocomposites which allow for tuning the structure-conductivity relationship. In collaboration with the Detsi group, the Composto group also investigates SPE’s under confinement in nanoporous to microporous scaffolds. Confinement introduces changes in thermal properties, structure, and conductivity.
