Author:Luo, H; Vaivars, G; Mathe, Mahlanyane KDate:Aug 2010In this paper, the proton exchange membrane prepared by covalent-ionically crosslinking water soluble sulfonated-sulfinated poly(oxa-p-phenylene-3,3-phthalido-pphenylene- oxa-p-phenylene-oxy-phenylene) (SsPEEK-WC) is reported. Compared with ...Read more
Author:Luo, H; Vaivars, G; Modibedi, Remegia M; Mathe, Mahlanyane KDate:May 2009The proton exchange membrane was prepared by covalent cross-linking sulfonated-sulfinated polyetheretherketone. The cross-linked membrane showed high proton conductivity (0.04 S/cm) with suitable water uptake, low methanol permeability (2.21 ...Read more
Author:Lou, H; Vaivars, G; Mathe, Mahlanyane KDate:Oct 2009The low cost proton exchange membrane was prepared by cross-linking water soluble sulfonated-sulfinated poly(oxa-p-phenylene-3,3-phthalido-p-phenylene-oxa-p-phenylene-oxyphenylene) (SsPEEK-WC). The prepared cross-linked membrane became insoluble ...Read more
Author:Luo, H; Vaivars, G; Mathe, Mahlanyane KDate:Apr 2012The proton exchange membrane based on polyetheretherketone was prepared via two steps of cross-linking. The properties of the double cross-linked membrane (water uptake, proton conductivity, methanol permeability and thermal stability) have ...Read more
