Session: Composites for Energy Applications (2009 Annual Meeting)

Description:

This session invite talks about composites materials used in energy applications. Such composites materials,in part,include (polymeric) composites materials with nanowires and/or quantum dots for solar cells, lithium battery, fuel cells,capacitors, and any other of energetic cells. Theoretical, modeling, or experimental work is welcome. The relationship between structure,processing, morphology, and properties is an important topic. New developments in matrix materials and filler and interfaces are encouraged to submit.
