Poly(2,5-benzimidazole) Based Polymer Electrolyte Membranes for High Temperature Fuel Cell Applications

Bao X.J., Liu Q.T., Loughborough University, UK

In this study, two methods, direct mixing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanos (POSS) with poly(2,5-benzimidazole) (ABPBI) and in-situ synthesis were employed to prepare ABPBI based composite membrane materials, respectively. The morphologies of pristine and composite membranes were [...]

The use of PEO-PPO-PEO block copolymers in the synthesis of nano ZnO via the hydrothermal method

Bao X., Young M., Loughborough University, UK

This investigation studied the effects of different molecular weight of the blocks in the PEO-PPO-PEO block copolymers, the different starting zinc compounds and different hydrothermal parameters on the particle size and morphology of ZnO. The [...]
