About the Book
This ready reference contains all the relevant and current information on synthetic membranes and their applications, including recent developments in innovative energy conversion. The editor is an internationally known leader in the field who has put together a first-class team of authors from academia and industry, who combine their own active experience to provide a highly practical approach to the subject.
The result is an invaluable source of information for process engineers, materials scientists, chemists in industry, electrochemists, chemical engineers, power engineers, and patent lawyers.
Focusing on recent developments in innovative energy conversion, this second volume features emerging applications with the capacity to transform the entire energy economy. Specific examples include the development of sulfonated polyarylether-type polymers as proton exchange membranes for high- and medium-temperature polymer electrode fuel cells (PEFC), with an entire section devoted to the rapidly expanding field of materials development for solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC). The result is a detailed and invaluable source of information for those involved in the chemical, material science and engineering fields of power generation.
