Including chemical, synthetic, and cross-disciplinary approaches;
this book includes the necessary techniques and technologies
to help readers better understand polymers for polymer electrolyte
membrane (PEM) fuel cells. The methods in the book are essential to
researchers and scientists in the field and will lead to further
development in polymer and fuel cell technologies.
* Provides complete, essential, and comprehensive
overview of polymer applications for PEM fuel cells
* Emphasizes state-of-the-art developments and methods,
like PEMs for novel fuel cells and polymers for fuel cell
catalysts
* Includes detailed chapters on major topics, like PEM
for direct liquid fuel cells and fluoropolymers and non-fluorinated
polymers for PEM
* Has relevance to a range of industries – like
polymer engineering, materials, and green technology –
involved with fuel cell technologies and R&D
