Asilomar Conference Grounds
Pacific Grove, California USA

This conference has had great success as the premier conference bringing together the polymer community and fuel cell scientists. Our objective is to engage a broad spectrum of the polymer community in meeting the needs of this technology.  Thus, we have generally scheduled talks that present the vision of the funding agencies and industry to provide perspective followed by talks from leading researchers in proton-conducting electrolyte synthesis, characterization, processing and application. We will maintain the focus on polymer membranes for fuel cells.  One area of added stress will be polymer/electrocatalyst composites that serve as electrodes in the fuel cells. Finally, extensive poster sessions present an opportunity for students and newcomers to ‘show their stuff’ to the community.
