ABSTRACT

The goal of the FP7 project MultiPlat “Biomimetic Ultrathin Structures as a Multipurpose Platform for Nanotechnology-Based Products” is to develop biomimetic proton conductive membranes through convergence of a number of fields. The primary application of this multipurpose nanotechnological platform is the next generation of fuel cells. Secondary applications cover diverse fields, including photonics, sensorics, biointerfaces, medicine and others. The MultiPlat project brings together the technology background and expertise of 6 participants from 5 countries offering all the necessary expertise to achieve the project’s ambitious objectives.

Keywords: Functionalized nanomembranes, Proton conductive wires, Nanochannels, Proton exchange membranes fuel cells (PEMFC), Membrane-electrode assembly (MEA).
