Starting in Summer 2012, I had been working as a research assistant in Dr. Eric Baer's lab in the Macromolecular Science and Engineering Department at Case Western. The projects I worked on dealt with gas separation membranes, which are multilayered polymer films that could be used for packaging and other uses. Types of characterization techniques used were permeability testing, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray scattering, atomic force microscope (AFM), scanning electron… Show more Starting in Summer 2012, I had been working as a research assistant in Dr. Eric Baer's lab in the Macromolecular Science and Engineering Department at Case Western. The projects I worked on dealt with gas separation membranes, which are multilayered polymer films that could be used for packaging and other uses. Types of characterization techniques used were permeability testing, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray scattering, atomic force microscope (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and both uniaxial and biaxial stretching.
