제목 Preparation and properties of sulfonated poly(aryl ether sulfone)/silica composite membranes for DMFC
초록 Proton exchange membrane (PEM) plays a key role in fuel cell technology. The proton conducting properties of the majority of polyelectrolyte polymers used for PEM preparation in fuel cell applications are most commonly provided by sulfonic acid functionalities. While the perfluorosulfonic acid copolymers have been currently used due to their high proton conductivity and excellent chemical stability, their high cost and high methanol permeability are contributing factors preventing the wide spread use of fuel cells. We have been investigating new materials based cheaper polyarylethers, which are known for their excellent chemical and thermal stability. In this work, we will present the synthesis of sulfonated poly(aryl ether sulfone) composite membranes which were prepared by hydrophilic and hydrophobic silica to improve mechanical and thermal properties, and to reduce methanol permeation. The influence of dispersed hydrophilic and hydrophobic silica on the membrane properties of morphology, thermal and mechanical properties, water uptake, and proton conductivity will be discussed.
