This is Cindy's page for the Intro to Nanotechnology page for Clarion University. I am a Chemistry major and hoping to minor in nanotech. I am interested in using nanotechnology for agriculture, cancer research, and alternative energy.
Main Focus[edit | edit source]
I have decided to focus my main article on the improvement of fuel cell membrane using carbon-nanotube (single or multi-walled) synthesis. I would also like to hit on the research being done to synthesize hydrogen using solar (eg. voltaic cells) as shown in the bottom part of the lit review.
