Environmental Friendly Synthesis of Polypyrrole within polymeric Nanotemplates-mechanism of polypyrrole synthesis

Li X., Chan A., Groves M., Malardier-Jugroot C., Royal Military College of Canada, CA

This paper describes an innovative way to synthesize polypyrrole using self-assembly nano-templates poly (isobutylene-alt-maleic anhydride) (IMA) or poly (styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) (SMA). Understanding the details of the novel synthesis in great details would provide us profound [...]

Predicting PEMFC Pt Catalyst Durability using DFT

Groves M.N., Chan A., Malardier-Jugroot C., Jugroot M., Malardier-Jugroot C., Royal Military College of Canada, CA

DFT calculations using B3LYP/Lanl2DZ on nitrogen doped graphene and single walled carbon nanotube structures are evaluated using Gaussian03 to measure the binding energy between its surface and a Pt atom. This is to characterize the [...]
