Physico-chemical study of sulfonated polystyrene pore-filled electrolyte membranes by electrons induced grafting
Pore-filled polymer electrolyte membranes have been prepared as a potential proton exchange membrane by radiation induced grafting using simultaneous technique. The porous substrate films were grafted in a subsequent step after flooding the membranes pores with styrene monomer. The grafted films wer...

| description | Pore-filled polymer electrolyte membranes have been prepared as a potential proton exchange membrane by radiation induced grafting using simultaneous technique. The porous substrate films were grafted in a subsequent step after flooding the membranes pores with styrene monomer. The grafted films were then sulfonated in a post grafting reactions. The resulting membranes were characterized by evaluating their physico-chemical properties such as ion exchange capacity, water uptake and proton conductivity as a function of grafting yield. The overall results illustrated that polystyrene grafts is successfully anchored within the pores of PTFE films during grafting and subsequently transformed into hygroscopic proton exchange regions after being sulfonated. The measured conductivity of the sulfonated polystyrene pore-filled electrolyte PTFE membranes achieved were within the magnitude of 10-3 Scm-1 and 10-2 Scm-1 at room temperature and at higher operating temperature, respectively. |
