Professional Background

Maxwell Marple is currently developing applications of magnetic resonance to characterize polymer aging and degradation phenomena and diffusion processes. He has a background in glass chemistry, synthesis, solid-electrolytes, material property characterization, and NMR spectroscopy. His research area focuses on developing a mechanistic understanding of dynamic and degradation processes from structure-property relationships for materials in carbon capture, energy storage, and energetic applications.      

 

Research interests

• Solid-state NMR spectroscopy, relaxometry, diffusiometry
• Material structure-property relationships
• Materials chemistry
• Materials characterization
• Glass chemistry
• Materials for carbon capture, batteries, hydrogen storage
