Broadband Dielectric Spectroscopic Studies of Annealed Nafion® Membranes

Abstract: The dynamics of macromolecular motions as coupled to proton migration in annealed Nafion ® membranes was explored using broadband dielectric spectroscopy. These fundamental molecular processes are of interest at temperatures above 100 o C; in particular, spectral changes were investigated in real-time at 140º C. Loss permittivity vs. frequency spectra of both β and α relaxations showed increased relaxation times with annealing and that water de-sorption was mainly responsible for these behaviors. Spectra were … Show more

“…It has been established that the molecular weight, chain orientation/entanglements, and dielectric relaxation behavior of the polymer materials have a significant effect on the proton conduction of the membranes . Hence, Nafion has been widely investigated using broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS) for the structure‐dependent conductivities at various experimental conditions . The temperature and dopants have been shown to significantly alter the relaxation properties of the material those in‐turn affect the proton conduction behavior .…”

“…Devido à complementaridade entre as técnicas de DS e DMA (Análise Dinâmico-Mecânica), alguns autores tentaram estabelecer a relação das relaxações observadas nos espectros dielétrico e mecânico do Nafion [16,42]. A relaxação dielétrica presente em altas frequências (f ~ 10 5 Hz) foi atribuída à parcial sobreposição das relaxações β' (cadeia principal) e β" (cadeias laterais) [118]. No entanto, tal sobreposição impediu o estudo separado de cada processo, e a determinação dos respectivos tempos de relaxação permaneceu incerta [118].…”

No entanto, tal sobreposição impediu o estudo separado de cada processo, e a determinação dos respectivos tempos de relaxação permaneceu incerta [118]. A correspondência da relaxação α medida por DS e DMA foi satisfatoriamente obtida; um máximo é observado em baixas frequências nos espectros dielétrico e mecânico do Nafion em temperaturas similares [40,118].…”
