Chapter 5 Micro-structured Nafion membranes for DMFC applications 2.2. Preparation of micro-structured and heat/pressure treated Nafion membranes Hot embossing is a fast method for the replication of structures at the micro- and nano-scale. This technology, in principle, has the capability of patterning sub 10 nm features [19]. Identical structures can be produced as required over large surfaces. It is a simple, low cost process which creates patterns by mechanical deformation of imprint resist and subsequent processes. A schematic drawing of this process can be seen in Figure 1. Hot embossing can be used to pattern the membranes. A great variety of nanoscale features is possible, so different patterns can be made. Figure 1. Hot embossing process. In this work the membranes were patterned with hot embossing in a cleanroom. Prior to hot embossing, the membranes were kept in a vacuum oven at 30 0C for at least 24 hours. To distinguish the effect of heat and pressure alone during the hot embossing process, membranes were embossed using a non patterned mold so no structure was embossed onto the membrane, leaving it smooth. The membranes were hot embossed at a temperature of 135 0C for 6 minutes at pressure of 30 bars. After this, the membranes were cooled down under pressure to 60 0C in about 15 minutes and were easily peeled off from the mold. 2.3. Membrane characterization Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) Membranes were visualized by a scanning electron microscope (Jeol JSM 5600LV). The membrane samples were sputtered with a thin layer of gold (30 nm) using a Balzers Union SCD 040 sputtering device prior to the SEM observation. 75

Infinity Supercritical CO2 10 Liter Extractor Design and Worldwide Rights: The Infinity Supercritical 10L CO2 extractor is for botanical oil extraction, which is rich in terpenes and can produce shelf ready full spectrum oil. With over 5 years of development, this industry leader mature extractor machine has been sold since 2015 and is part of many profitable businesses. The process can also be used for electrowinning, e-waste recycling, and lithium battery recycling, gold mining electronic wastes, precious metals. CO2 can also be used in a reverse fuel cell with nafion to make a gas-to-liquids fuel, such as methanol, ethanol and butanol or ethylene. Supercritical CO2 has also been used for treating nafion to make it more effective catalyst. This NFT is for the purchase of worldwide rights which includes the design. More Info
