In present work a new setup for in situ studies of molecular self-assembling process for fabrication of ion-conducting membranes for “green” fuel cells was developed. Due to compactness, this unique setup can be used on the synchrotron beamlines. The GISAXS and optical microscopy data have shown the effectiveness of the control of molecular architecture by impact of high temperature, UV-irradiation and solvent vapors.
