Nano structured polymers with proton conductivity

Beskrivelse

New nano phased polymer proton conducting membranes with high conductivities has been synthesized by irradiaton grafting and subsequent sulfonation. The use of substituted styrene grafts as well as cross linkers has improved the chemical stability and decreased the solvent uptake. This makes the membrane materials promising candidates for use in Direct Methanol Fuel Cells as well as in ordinary Polymer Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells
