Research Abstract |
Polymer electrolyte membranes (PEM) consisting of ion conducting sulfoalkyl grafts with a hydrogen-bond network and poly(styrenesulfonic acid) grafts blended with heterocycle were synthesized by radiation-induced graft polymerization techniques to improve ion conductivity and mechanical properties under anhydrous conditions at high temperature for next generation fuel cells. The sulfonated grafts with a hydrogen-bond network for PEMs affect the ion conductivity.
