Effect of dispersion state of cloisite15a (r) on the performance of speek/cloisite15a nanocomposite membrane for DMFC application
The introduction of 2,4,6-triaminopyrimi-dine (TAP) into sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK)/Cloisite15A V R nanocomposite membranes were investigated for the purpose of maintaining low methanol permeability and suppressing swelling in direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). SPEEK with 63% of degr...
