Research Description
Current research in the Musselman Group has 4 emphases with a microscopy theme in common. Projects include:
- Mechanisms of contrast and limits of contrast resolution in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) images of molecular adsorbates
- Peptide/single-walled carbon nanotube interactions explored using STM and atomic force microscopy (AFM)
- Fabrication and testing of polymer-based mixed-matrix membranes for gas separations
- Development and testing of high temperature proton exchange membranes for fuel cells
