1. INTRODUCTION Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have increasingly
received worldwide attention because of their potential application in transportation and in …

Fluoropolymers usually have high mechanical strength and excellent chemical stability and
thus have been employed for the last several decades as materials for membrane …

The progress in atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) provides an effective means for
the design and preparation of functional membranes. Polymeric membranes with different …

Poly ionic liquids (ILs), also known as polymeric ILs, are a particular class of polymers since
they acquire conventional features of polymers and keep some unique characteristics of ILs …

Hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes have been used in membrane
distillation, however its performance in terms of permeation flux and salt rejection still needs …

Hydrophobic flat-sheet membranes were prepared by poly (vinylidene fluoride-co-
chlorotrifluoroethylene)(PVDF-CTFE) via the non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) …

In this study, preparation and characterization of PVDF/PMMA-co-PAMPS/silica
nanocomposite membranes as a new proton exchange membrane were investigated …

Proton exchange membranes (PEMs) with well-defined microphase separation hold great
promise for satisfying the demands of operation under high temperature and low humidity …

We review the synthesis and application of polymers produced from hydroxyethyl acrylate
(HEA) and hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA). Since the first reports in the 1960's on the use …

This book is the first to deliver an extensive exploration of nanocomposite membrane
technology. Approaching the subject from the materials point of view, the text offers an …
