Dr. Kevin Cooper, Principal Scientist at Scribner, recently presented on the 740 Membrane Test System at the 2nd CARISMA Intl. Conference on Progress in MEA Materials for Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells in La Grande Motte, France.
This conference series is specifically devoted to the challenges in developing fuel cell materials and membrane electrode assemblies for the medium and high temperature range targeted for transport and stationary applications.
The conference opened on Sunday afternoon with plenary lectures, followed by a poster session and a welcome reception and buffet. Each of the sessions on Monday to Wednesday were led with invited lectures by leading researchers in the fields of PEM fuel cells materials development, processing, characterisation and applications, and followed by contributed talks, in such a way as to promote a review of important issues related to materials development and durability for PEMFC systems.
The conference was an opportunity for presentation of recent results, discussion and debate on the solutions sought internationally to the bottlenecks associated with operation at higher temperatures, with an international programme of invited lectures, oral and poster contributions, and round table discussions.
