Group Vibrational Mode Assignments as a Broadly Applicable Tool for Characterizing Ionomer Membrane Structure as a Function of Degree of Hydration [PDF]
Infrared spectra of Nafion, Aquivion, and the 3M membrane were acquired during total dehydration of fully hydrated samples. Fully hydrated exchange sites are in a sulfonate form with a C₃V local symmetry. The mechanical coupling of the exchange site to a

Layer-by-layer surface modification of poly(ether sulfone) membranes using polyelectrolytes and AgCl/TiO2 xerogels [PDF]
In this study, the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly method was employed to modify a commercial polyethersulfone (PES) membrane by successive adsorption of chitosan and alginate as cationic and anionic polyelectrolytes.

Hyperbranched macromolecules: From synthesis to applications [PDF]
Hyperbranched macromolecules (HMs, also called hyperbranched polymers) are highly branched three-dimensional (3D) structures in which all bonds converge to a focal point or core, and which have a multiplicity of reactive chain-ends.

Graphene-based electrochemical system for tritium enrichment
In this study, a tritium enrichment system in the water phase has been developed based on the combination of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis cell and a fuel cell. As the PEM, Nafion ^TM and laboratory-synthesized sulfonated poly(ether ether

Thorium Recovery with Crown Ether–Polymer Composite Membranes
Thorium is a weak radioactive element, but the control of its concentration in natural aqueous systems is of great interest for health, because it is a toxic heavy metal.

Sulfonated Poly(Ether-Ether-Ketone) Polymer Membranes for Fuel Cells
Sulfonated Poly(Ether-Ether-Ketone) Polymer Membranes for Fuel CellsIn the work, sulfonated poly(ether-ether-ketone) (SPEEK) ionomers were synthesized using an original (submitted for patent) and simple method. The resulting membranes were tested to determine parameters that are important for the use of this material in fuel cells (water absorption ...

Effects of tin phosphate nanosheet addition on proton-conducting properties of sulfonated poly(ether sulfone) membranes [PDF]
Organic/inorganic composite membranes were prepared by dispersing nanosheets of layered tin phosphate hydrate [Sn(HPO4)2·nH2O (SnP)] in sulfonated poly(ether sulfone) (SPES) at SnP contents of 0–40 vol.%.
