Journal ArticleDOI
Nafion®/(SiO2, ORMOSIL, and dimethylsiloxane) hybrids via in situ sol–gel reactions: Characterization of fundamental properties
TL;DR: In this article, a broad endotherm for Nafion®-H+ at Tα ≈ 215°C was found, which was rationalized in terms of an increasing fraction of flexible D units that disrupt hydrophilic Q structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
TGA–FTi.r. investigation of the thermal degradation of Nafion® and Nafion®/[silicon oxide]-based nanocomposites
TL;DR: The integrated TGA-FTi.r. technique probed the thermal degradation of: (1) a Nafion®-H+ membrane; (2) this membrane as modified by incorporation of a SiO2[1-x/4] (OH)x phase via in situ sol-gel reactions for tetraethoxysilane; and (3) this modified membrane as further modified, organically, via post-reaction with diethoxydimethylsilane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dielectric relaxation studies of ion motions in electrolyte-containing perfluorosulfonate ionomers. 4. Long-range ion transport
TL;DR: In this paper, a discussion of la loi de puissance decrivant la perte dielectrique de membranes Nafion contenant des electrolytes aqueux obtenue par Mauritz a l'aide de la theorie du transport dispersif des porteurs de charge dans les materiaux amorphes and de la theoryie du phenomene de dispersion dielectric anormal is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
[Perfluorosulfonate ionomer]/silicate hybrid membranes via base-catalyzed in situ sol–gel processes for tetraethylorthosilicate
Kenneth A. Mauritz,John T. Payne +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, base-catalyzed sol-gel reactions for tetraethylorthosilicate were conducted within Nafion® sulfonate membranes and demonstrated that it is possible to incorporate silicate structures deep within these membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microstructural evolution of a silicon oxide phase in a perfluorosulfonic acid ionomer by an in situ sol-gel reaction. 3. Thermal analysis studies
TL;DR: In this paper, microcomposite membranes were produced via the in situ diffusion-controlled, acid-catalyzed sol-gel reaction for tetraethoxysilane in prehydrated and methanol-swollen Nafion perfluorosulfonic acid films.
