Abstract

A novel nanocomposite proton-exchange membrane (PEM) was obtained by combined electrospinning and solution casting of a composite solution of sulfophenylated poly(ether ether ketone ketone) (SP-PEEKK) and maleic anhydride modified nanocellulose (MN). SP-PEEKK was prepared by polymerization between phenyl hydroquinone and 1,4-bis(4-fluorobenzoyl)benzene followed by post-sulfonation. Nanocellulose (NCC) was prepared by the acid treatment of MCC with sulfuric acid, and MN with carboxyl group was obtained by modifying NCC with maleic anhydride. PEMs with 2% MN (MN2) showed a water uptake of 28% at 100°C, which was higher than that of MN0 (with 0% MN content). MN2 possessed a high tensile strength of 48.7 MPa, Young’s modulus of 1.3 GPa, and elongation at break of 34%, which was 54%, 21%, and 16% higher than those of MN0, respectively. Thus, the ordered distributed of MN was illustrated to be the effective reinforcing material for SP-PEEKK membranes because of the strong interface between the hydroxyl group of rigid MN and the sulfonic acid group of SP-PEEKK. MN2 also had a substantially higher proton conductivity of 0.09 S cm−1 at 90°C than MN0 (0.037 S cm−1). Therefore, combined electrospinning and solution casting was found to be a promising choice to improve the proton conductivity of nanocomposite PEMs, as promoted by the three-dimensional hydrogen bond-proton-transport network formed by the well-oriented MN in SPEEKK produced by the electrospinning.

静电纺丝法制备羧基官能化纳米纤维素/磺化聚芳醚酮质子交换膜复合材料

将磺基苯基化聚醚醚酮（SP-PEEKK）和马来酸酐改性纳米纤维素（MN）的复合溶液通过静电纺丝和溶液浇铸相结合，制备了一种新型纳米复合质子交换膜（PEM）。SP-PEEKK是由苯基对苯二酚和1,4-双（4-氟苯甲酰基）苯聚合，然后进行后磺化制备的。用硫酸对MCC进行酸处理制备了纳米纤维素（NCC），并用马来酸酐对其进行改性，得到了具有羧基的MN。含2%MN的PEMs（MN2）在100°C下的吸水率为28%，高于MN0（含0%MN）。MN2具有48.7MPa的高拉伸强度、1.3GPa的杨氏模量和34%的断裂伸长率，分别比MN0高54%、21%和16%。因此，由于刚性MN的羟基和SP-PEEKK的磺酸基之间的强界面，MN的有序分布被证明是SP-PEEKK的膜的有效增强材料。在90°C下，MN2的质子传导率也显著高于MN0（0.037 S cm−1），为0.09 S cm−。因此，电纺丝和溶液浇铸相结合是提高纳米复合PEM质子导电性的一种很有前途的选择，这得益于电纺丝产生的SPEEKK中取向良好的MN形成的三维氢键质子传输网络。

期刊介绍： Health Services Management Research (HSMR) is an authoritative international peer-reviewed journal which publishes theoretically and empirically rigorous research on questions of enduring interest to health-care organizations and systems throughout the world. Examining the real issues confronting health services management, it provides an independent view and cutting edge evidence-based research to guide policy-making and management decision-making. HSMR aims to be a forum serving an international community of academics and researchers on the one hand and healthcare managers, executives, policymakers and clinicians and all health professionals on the other. HSMR wants to make a substantial contribution to both research and managerial practice, with particular emphasis placed on publishing studies which offer actionable findings and on promoting knowledge mobilisation toward theoretical advances. All papers are expected to be of interest and relevance to an international audience. HSMR aims at enhance communication between academics and practitioners concerned with developing, implementing, and analysing health management issues, reforms and innovations primarily in European health systems and in all countries with developed health systems. Papers can report research undertaken in a single country, but they need to locate and explain their findings in an international context, and in international literature.
