“…1), as the reactivity ratios for both monomers are close to unity in BuOH. The copolymerization of HEA and HEMA was found to follow a typical acrylate/methacrylate behaviour, 43 consistent with the idea that the H-bonding equally influenced the reactivity of both monomers. The postulated substitution and disruption mechanism is confirmed by the PLP-SEC experiments performed in DMF, also shown in Fig.…”

“…One example are strategies employing a commercial poly(ethylene-alt-tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE) base material. Previously, we reported on high temperature polymer electrolyte membranes (HTPEM) based on induced graft copolymerization of (meth)acrylate monomers on ETFE backbone material after electron beam (EB) treatment and subsequent doping with phosphoric acid [31,32]. In contrast, generally PEMs with an operating temperature below 100 °C (low temperature polymer electrolyte membranes, LTPEM) contain sulfonic acid groups, which are nowadays most commonly used in fuel cell vehicles.…”

Polymer electrolyte membranes (PEM) prepared by radiation-induced graft copolymerization are investigated. For this purpose, commercial poly(ethylene-alt-tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE) films were activated by electron beam treatment and subsequently grafted with the monomers glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and N,N′-methylenebis(acrylamide) (MBAA) as crosslinker. The target is to achieve a high degree of grafting (DG) and high proton conductivity. To evaluate the electrochemical performance, the PEMs were tested in a fuel cell and in a vanadium redox-flow battery (VRFB). High power densities of 134 mW∙cm−2 and 474 mW∙cm−2 were observed, respectively.

Over the past decade or so, alternative energy plays a pivotal role in addressing challenges posed by nature. Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell is one of the promising alternative energy and there has been significant research and technological investments done in this field. The key information and future prospective of the field is energy conversion and storage, both of which are essential in order to meet the challenges of global warming and the limited fossil fuel supply. However, polymer membrane in particular plays a crucial role in advancing this technology further. The utilization of conducting polymers in manufacturing membranes combining their electrochemical properties along with mechanical properties is of primary importance to enhance the efficiency of this system. In the present study blends of high impact polystyrene (HIPS) and polyaniline (PAni) were obtained with the aim of producing membranes for fuel cell. HIPS and PAni were dissolved in tetrachloroethylene, a common solvent for both materials. After dissolution, PAni was dispersed in an HIPS polymeric matrix. The membranes were molded on to glass plates using a laminator to keep thickness constant, and the solvent evaporated slowly for 24 h under room temperature. The amount of polyaniline used was 10 and 20 % weight. The electronic and structural properties were carried out using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) Raman spectroscopy, Scanning electronic microscopic (SEM). The analysis indicate that PAni incorporation and its dispersion into the polymeric matrix modifies the membranes properties and show improvement in efficiency.
