Abstract

In this work,the physico-chemical and electrochemical performance of sulfonated polysulfone were studied.Sulfonated polysulfone membranes swelled less than Nafion membranes did. The proton conductivities in sulfonated polysulfone membranes are lower than in Nafion membranes when the two membranes have same EW values.It appears that the sulfonated polysulfone membranes looks promising for proton exchange membrane fuel cell applications.
