In this study, the mechanical properties of the polymer electrolyte membrane according to the temperature were studied. The test specimens of polymer electrolyte membrane were heat treated at 40℃, 60℃, 80℃, 100℃, and 120℃, and then the tensile tests were performed. As results of this study, the residual stress of the polymer electrolyte membrane was removes by the heat treatment and the elastic modulus decreased due to the decrease in internal energy. In addition, in the plastic region, the mechanical properties and crystallization rate of the polymer electrolyte membrane increased in proportion according to increase of the heat treatment temperature.

Polymer electrolyte membranes have been studied widely in chloro-alkali electrolysis, cationic exchange resins, and fuel cell applications. Especially, sulfonated polyimide membranes have been suggested as a potential polymer electrolyte in PEMFC due to their excellent thermal stability and high proton conductivity.(omitted)

To increase the surface hydrophilicity of PVDF membranes, in this paper, an electric enhancing method was adopted to treat PVDF nascent membranes during the phase inversion process. It was found that when PEG 600 was taken as the additive, the surface water contact angle of the PVDF membrane treated under 2 kV electric field was decreased from $84.0^{\circ}$ to $65.7^{\circ}$. The reason for the surface elements change of the PVDF membranes prepared under the electric field was analyzed in detail with the dielectric parameters of the polymer dope solutions. Results from BSA adsorption experiment showed that the antifouling ability of the external electric field-treated membranes was distinctly enhanced when compared with that of the untreated membranes. The amount of BSA adsorbed by the treated membranes was lower by 38-43%. Compared with the common chemical reaction methods to synthesize hydrophilic additives or membrane materials, the electric field-assisted processing method did not involve any additional chemical synthesis process and it was capable of realizing better hydrophilicity.

본 연구에서는 플렉시블 전기변색 소자(ECD)에 적용하기 위한 고분자 전해질 멤브레인의 최적 설계 조건을 도출하고자 하였다. 전해질 멤브레인의 제조를 위한 기저 고분자로 접착력 및 투명도가 우수한 polyvinyl butyral (PVB)을 선정하였으며 가소제로는 adipate계 고분자를 사용하였다. 실험결과, ECD 성능에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 인자는 전해질 멤브레인의 이온 전도도 및 투과도임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 상기 인자는 리튬염의 해리 특성과 밀접한 관계를 갖고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 종합적으로 다양한 리튬염 중 음이온의 크기가 큰 LiTFSI 염이 25 wt.% 정도의 함량으로 용해될 때 최적의 ECD 성능을 확인할 수 있었다.

An acceleration stress test (AST) was performed to evaluate the durability of a polymer membrane in a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) for 500 hours. Previous studies have shown that hydrogen crossover measured by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) increases when the polymer membrane deteriorates in the AST process. On the other hand, hydrogen crossover of the membrane often decreases in the early stages of the AST test. To investigate the cause of this phenomenon, we analyzed the MEA operated for 50 hours using the AST method (OCV, RH 30% and $90^{\circ}C$). Cyclic voltammetry and transmission electron showed that the electrochemical surface area (ECSA) decreased due to the growth of electrode catalyst particles and that the hydrogen crossover current density measured by LSV could be reduced. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis showed that -S-O-S- crosslinking occurred in the polymer after the 50 hour AST. Gas chromatography showed that the hydrogen permeability was decreased by -S-O-S- crosslinking. The reduction of the hydrogen crossover current density measured by LSV in the early stages of AST could be caused by both reduction of the electrochemical surface area of the electrode catalyst and -S-O-S- crosslinking.

고분자 전해질 막 연료전지(polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell, PEMFC)는 환경오염물질 배출이 없는 친환경 에너지 변환 장치로 주목을 받고 있다. PEMFC의 구성요소 중 고분자 전해질 막(polymer electrolyte membrane, PEM)은 음극에서 발생되는 수소이온을 양극으로 전달하는 역할과 동시에 분리막으로써 연료의 투과를 차단하는 역할을 수행하는 핵심 소재이다. 대표적으로 Nafion®과 같은 과불소화계 고분자 전해질 막이 상용화 되어있지만 높은 단가 및 분해 시 환경오염물질이 배출되는 단점이 존재하여, 이를 대체할 탄화수소계 고분자를 활용한 전해질 막 개발에 관한 연구들이 수행되고 있다. 높은 수소이온 전도도를 가지며 동시에 우수한 물리·화학적 안정성을 갖는 탄화수소계 고분자 기반 전해질 막을 개발하기 위해 가교 구조가 도입된 전해질 막을 개발하는 연구들이 보고되고 있다. 본 총설은 가교 전해질 막을 제조하기 위해 이온교환 작용기가 도입된 탄화수소계 고분자를 활용하여 다양한 종류의 가교 전해질 막을 제조하는 방법에 대해 논하였다.

The reduction behavior of silver ions to silver nanoparticles is an important topic in polymer/silver salt complex membranes to facilitate olefin transport, as this has a significant effect on the long-term performance stability of the membrane. In this study, the effects ofthe solvent type on the formation of silver nanoparticles, as well as the long-term membrane performance of a solid polymer/silver salt complex membrane were investigated. These effects were assessed for solid complexes of poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) $(PVP)/AgBF_4$, using either an ionic liquid (IL), acetonitrile (ACN) or water as the solvent for the membrane preparation. The membrane performance test showed that long-term stability was strongly dependent on the solvent type, which increased in the following order: IL > ACN >> water. The formation of silver nanoparticles was more favorable with the solvent type in the reverse order, as supported by UV-visible spectroscopy. The poor stability of the $(PVP)/AgBF_4$ membrane when water was used as the solvent might have been due to the small amount of water present in the silver-polymer complex membranes actively participating in the reduction reaction of the silver ions into silver nanoparticles. Conversely, the higher stability of the $(PVP)/AgBF_4$, membrane when an IL was used as the solvent was attributable to the cooperative coordination of silver ions with the IL, as well as with the polymer matrix, as confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy.

본 연구에서는 아크릴계 고분자의 소수성 차이에 따른 막 모폴로지 변화를 조사하였다. 막은poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA), poly(ethyl methacrylate)(PEMA), poly(butyl methacrylate)(PBMA), poly(isobutyl, methacrylate)(PIBMA) 및 이들의 블렌드를 사용하여 습식 상 역전 방법으로 제조하였다. 상대적으로 소수성이 적은 PMMA와 PEMA는channel-like 형태의 막 구조를, 소수성이 큰 PBMA와 PIBMA는 finger-like 형태의 막 구조를 보여주었다. 이러한 막 구조의 변화는 polymer-rich상의 고상화 과정에서 속도론적 차이가 있었기 때문이었다. 이성분 블렌드 막의 구조는 주 성분 고분자에 의해 결정되었다.
