Sorption and diffusion properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride)-graft-poly-(styrene sulfonic acid) (PVDF-g-PSSA) and Nafion 117 polymer electrolyte membranes were studied in water/methanol mixtures. The two types of membranes were found to have different sorption properties. The Nafion 117 membrane w

โฆ Synopsis
The density and dimensional changes of Nafion 117 H have been measured as a function of the water content. Swelling of Nafion commences at N (= mol ratio water to hydrogen ion) -1.9. Some anisotropy of dimensional changes was observed. Water-sorption isotherms obey Henry's Law with a nonzero intercept indicating some water retention. The diffusion coefficient of water in Nafion and the electrical conductivity of Nafion are strong functions of the water content. The latter is exploited for the development of a humidity sensor.
