Abstract

Proton-conducting membranes are widely used in various electrochemical systems. The content and state of water in membranes have a significant impact on their properties. Therefore, studies of the interaction of membranes with water are relevant and are the subject of many works in the scientific literature. This paper presents data obtained by studying the dynamics and characteristics of water saturation in three types of membranes consisting of ionomers with a long side chain (Nafion and MF-4SK) and a short side chain (Aquivion). The dynamics of hydration were studied using electron spectroscopy in the near ultraviolet and visible regions, differential thermal analysis, and gravimetry. It has been shown that the process of hydration of different membranes occurs in distinct ways, although it has common patterns, the main one of which is the presence of two-stage hydration: 1. rapid water absorption and 2. slow rearrangement of the membrane structure. The values of equilibrium water content in air-dry membranes and their specific moisture capacity are provided.

期刊介绍： Polymer Science, Series A is a journal published in collaboration with the Russian Academy of Sciences. Series A includes experimental and theoretical papers and reviews devoted to physicochemical studies of the structure and properties of polymers (6 issues a year). All journal series present original papers and reviews covering all fundamental aspects of macromolecular science. Contributions should be of marked novelty and interest for a broad readership. Articles may be written in English or Russian regardless of country and nationality of authors. All manuscripts are peer reviewed. Online submission via Internet to the Series A, B, and C is available at http://polymsci.ru.
