GENERAL INFORMATION AND PROGRAMMING
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.
