Bishnu Sharma Kandel Finishes his PhD in chemical engineering

Topic of his thesis is "preparation and characterization of sulfonated polyetheretherketone composite membranes for fuel cell application - The effect of acid-base interaction".  


From Department of  chemical and environmental engineering, Sun Moon University, South Korea.

Acid-base interacted composite membranes of sulfonated polyetheretherketone with simple organic bases were prepared and characterized. Acid-base interaction increased the mechanical strength and decreased the methanol permeability of composite membranes which made the composite membranes more suitable to utilize as proton exchange membrane in direct methanol fuel cell.

Congratulations Dr. Bishnu. Best wishes for your future.
