Polymers (08a)

#278 - Polymers for Fuel Cell Applications (08A09)
Papers are sought for polymer membranes for fuel cell applications. Polymer electrolyte membranes that can operate at high temperatures, are resistant to methanol, and have higher conductivities compared to current standards are of interest. Other topics of interest include, polymer synthesis, transport phenomena, polymer physics, polymer blends, composites, and block copolymers, theory, modeling, new experimental techniques, and fuel cell performance.
