Microcompounding equipment for creating thin, robust anion exchange membranes

Abstract

The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) is designed to improve the capabilities of U.S. Universities to conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in selected technical areas of importance to national defense. DURIP funding provides for the acquisition of research equipment and instrumentation for this purpose. This proposal is for the purchase of a twin-screw micro-compounder and cast film device system to produce thin films from polymer melts. The PI, Professor Matthew Liberatore at the University of Toledo, will use the equipment to augment and enhance research on complex heterogeneous organic materials.
