Polymer electrolyte membrane with heterocyclic terminated poly(ethylene glycol) brushes: An approach to decorate proton conductive species on membrane surface
Grafting of water absorption and proton transfer species onto the membrane surface. Membrane surface with polymer brushes of poly(ethylene glycol) and benzimidazole. Poly(ethylene glycol) as water absorption group on the membrane. Benzimidazole as proton transfer species on the membrane. SPEEK membrane grafted polymer brushes shows vehicle mechanism proton transfer.
