The addition of Cloisite 15A® Clay (CC) and 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine (TAP) to enhance the transport properties of sulfonated poly ether ether ketone (SPEEK) nanocomposite membrane, which is a promising candidate for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) application, was investigated. The central composit...
