The FP7 NMP MultiPlat project is focused on the development of novel biomimetic, selective ion-conductive
nanometric-thin membranes with highly ordered structure. They will be used as a multipurpose platform for range of
applications, primary the new proton conductive nanomembranes, as the vital part of the fuel cell energy sources.
The MultiPlat project sets three main goals in advancing beyond the state of the art: a) the development of
nanomembrane fabrication, b) the development of the proton-conducting wires and c) integration of nanomembranes
and proton wires into a single functional structure. The concept of the MultiPlat project goes well beyond the art and
strives to unite artificial and biological properties. This complex work is a convergence point of different fields, and its
strategic impact will be felt in solid state physics, organic chemistry, chemical engineering, biomimetics,
nanoelectromechanical system fabrication and nanotechnologies generally. 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.
