## Abstract Pinhole formation in proton exchange membranes (PEM) may be caused by a process of flaw formation and crack propagation within membranes exposed to cyclic hygrothermal loading. Fracture mechanics can be used to characterize the propagation process, which is thought to occur in a slow, t

Gas crossover phenomenon through a membrane is inevitable in a proton-exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). For nitrogen, the concentration at the cathode side is usually higher than that at the anode side, so N 2 permeates to the anode side. Nitrogen gas crossover (NGC) may cause fuel starvation, if
A series of silicon-containing sulfonated polystyrene/acrylate (Si-sPS/A) nanoparticles are successfully synthesized via simple emulsion polymerization method. The Si-sPS/A latexes show good film-forming capability and the self-crosslinked organic/inorganic proton exchange membranes are prepared by
The present paper describes the development of a novel proton exchange membrane comprising a poly (styrene sulfonic acid-co-4-vinylpyridine) copolymer that was crosslinked with a haloalkyl crosslinker through the formation of ionic bonding linkages. The nucleophilic substitution of these crosslinked
