Abstract:New composite materials were prepared by electrospinning/casting method aiming the preparation of membranes for fuel cell application. Non-woven nanofiber mats of poly(styrene sulfonic acid-co-maleic anhydride) (PSSAMA)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/Ionic liquid (IL) blends were prepared by electrospinning using water as solvent. The mass ratio PSSAMA/PVA = 2/3 was employed and 1-Butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate (BMIM TfO) was used as IL, in the content of 10, 30, and 50 wt% concerning the polym… Show more
