Preparation and characterization of an eco-friendly polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) Based in a Blend of Sulphonated Poly(Vinyl Alcohol)/Chitosan Mechanically Stabilised by Nylon 6,6

Membranes for fuel cell applications were prepared using two polymer blends: poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVAL) and chitosan (CS), 80/20 (w/w) and 60/40 (w/w) with and without nylon. Sulfosuccinic acid (SSA) was used both as a crosslinking and a sulfonating agent. An increasing in the SSA content raised ion...
