  1. 105. Robust and Tunable Polymer Cushioned Lipid Membranes
    Tonya Kuhl (University of California Davis)
    16/07/2024, 09:00
    Keynote

    This talk will present some comparisons of neutron and X-ray reflectivity of supported lipid members as platforms to investigate various membrane properties. I will emphasize some recent work on a robust polymer cushioned membrane system that recapitulates many salient features of the plasma membrane including control over the fluidity of the membrane and thickness/density of the underlying,...

  2. 103. Temperature/Solvent Annealing Effect on Nanostructure of Ionomer Thin Films Revealed by Multi-Prove Experiments

    Invited

    Polymer electrolyte fuel cells used in electric vehicles convert the chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity to power motors, in which the electricity is generated in three steps: hydrogen gas is dissolved into protons at the anode, the protons are transported through an electrolyte, and the protons are reacted with oxygen at the cathode. Perfluorosulfonic acids (PFSAs) are widely used as...

  3. 50. FORMATION OF GOLD NANOPARTICLES UNDER A MONOLAYER OF IONIC LIQUID
    Michel Goldmann (INSP)
    16/07/2024, 10:15
    Oral

    The use of an ionic liquid (IL) as electrolyte is promising for very high capacity energy storage units based on graphene electrode [1]. Moreover, introducing gold nanoparticles (NPs) at the interface between the IL and the electrode makes it possible to increase the capacitance [2]. We study the interface between these NPs and a layer of the [C20mim]+[NTf2]- IL. We use x-rays surface...

  4. 66. Surface-confined polymer-surfactant complexes: highlighting hydrophobic interaction
    Egor BERSENEV (ESRF/University of Bristol)
    16/07/2024, 10:35
    Oral

    Polymer-surfactant (P-S) complexes have been a subject of extensive research efforts, due to their high industrial and scientific relevance both in solution [1] and on the interfaces [2]. A feature of polymer-surfactant complexes is that they are able to assemble into the supramolecular complexes above a certain critical association concentration (cac). However, our understanding of the...
