Preparation and Characterization of SPS-PMHS Hybrid Ionic Polymer-Metal Composites Studies

摘要

A macromoleclar polymer (Sulfonated polystyrene - Polyhydromethylsilane, SPS-PMHS) was synthesized from polystyrene by sulfonation, acylation, amination and hydrosilylation. Characterization of the hydrosilylation process was performed with attenuated total reflectance-fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. The SPS-PMHS was homogeneously dispersed in the Nafion matrix with doping level of 33.3 wt%. Experimental results show that the yield tip-displacement values of the polymer nano-composite have not been enhanced, but the nonaqueous working time is 2.7 times higher than that of the virgin nafion.
