Electroactive Thermoplastics

Proton‐exchange membrane fuel cells are one of the most commercially important applications of electroactive polymers. It has been found that their performance can be optimized by controlling water transport via thin layers of ionomers with increasing equivalent weights in the catalyst layer (see Fi...

Summary:Proton‐exchange membrane fuel cells are one of the most commercially important applications of electroactive polymers. It has been found that their performance can be optimized by controlling water transport via thin layers of ionomers with increasing equivalent weights in the catalyst layer (see Figure). Recent developments in this area are presented here within the context of development of innovative electroactive materials.
