description:
	We wish to commence/continue studies of microstructure and microstructure gradients as a function of processing, feedstock, and service lifetime (loading) linked to known/measured performance properties for:
(a) Catalytic membrane materials (with A. Kulkarni, Siemens and Y. Li, Stony Brook).
(b) novel solid oxide fuel cell materials (with Y. Gao, GE Global Research).
(c) H-storage membranes and/or electrochemical membranes for H production from H2O (with Y. Li, Stony Brook) 
(d) Next-generation thermal barrier coatings, especially modified catalytic coatings where there is an interest in waste product combustion "on the blade" (with Y. Li, Stony Brook, A. Kulkarni, Siemens).
