In this article, the morphology of the ionomer resin from which Nafion perfluorinated membrane products are made was studied with wide-angle and small-angle x-ray diffraction.Abstract:
The morphology of the ionomer resin from which Nafion perfluorinated membrane products are made was studied with wide-angle and small-angle x-ray diffraction. A reflection observed in the small-angle x-ray scan from hydrolyzed polymer is attributed to ionic clustering. The effects of equiv wt, cation form, temperature, water content, and tensile drawing on this reflection were studied and are discussed.read more

State of Understanding of Nafion
TL;DR: Light scattering experiments revealed that the radius of gyration had a linear dependence on the molar mass of the aggregates, which suggests that the particles are in the form of rods or ribbons, or at least some elongated structure.

TL;DR: Simulations for various other models of Nafion, including Gierke's cluster and the polymer-bundle model, do not match the scattering data, and a recently introduced algorithm can explain important features of Nafeon, including fast diffusion of water and protons through Nafions and its persistence at low temperatures.
