Spin-cating, spray-coating or blade coating of ionomers on metal-coated substrates with control over thickness pre-/post-processing, heating, and solvent effects or variations
Spin-cating, spray-coating or blade coating of ionomers on metal-coated substrates with control over thickness pre-/post-processing, heating, and solvent effects or variations
Probing morphology of materials with chemical specifity by tuning x-rays at varying absorption energies to enhance scattering signal and acquire spectroscopic fingerprint for chemically heteregeneous, hybrid materials
Isothermal calorimetry method to determine thermodynamic components (enthalpic and entropic contributions) of binary ionomer-catalyst-solvent interactions to quantify binding strength
Quartz-Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation for ionomer dispersion adsorption and ionomer thin film mass change (hydration) on supports (metal-coated substrates) to investigate the ionomer-metal interfaces and interactions
