제목 Preparation and characterization of sulfonated poly(aryl ether sulfone) blend membranes for DMFC
초록 Rapid advances in the fuel cell industry have led to an increasing demand for novel proton exchange membrane (PEM) with enhanced performance. The current NafionTM-like perfluorinated ionomer membranes have been applied as PEM due to their high proton conductivity and excellent chemical/mechanical stability, but still face significant technology problems, such as high cost, reduced conductivity at high temperature, and high methanol permeability, that have to be overcome. Recently, acid-base complexation method revealed an effective approach to development of proton-conducting membranes. It was known that the interaction between the polymers takes place by formation of hydrogen bonds and by proton-transfer from the acidic to the basic group [1-2].
In this works, we synthesized the sulfonated poly(aryl ether sulfone) (sPAES) as a acidic polymer and poly(aryl ether benzimidazole) (PAEBI) as a basic polymer. The acid-base polymer blend membranes will be discussed in terms of the proton conductivity, water-uptake and methanol permeability etc.
