ACTIVE RESEARCH
Proton Transport at the Nanoscale
We study by means of simulations the nanoscopic aspects of the transport of protons in ionomers, and address such issues as surface effects, where the membrane composition may be different from its bulk form, and gas transport in membranes We pursue and examine critically some new models for proton transport in a system consisting of anionomer (in its acid form) and water. |

Nanoscale Structure in Ionomers
We investigate the nanoscale structure of hydrated ionomer membranes with the goal of enabling the development of new and more useful materials for use in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells.
