Abstract
Polysulfone acidic ionomers have been extensively used as Fuel Cell membranes, mainly because of their mechanical, thermal, chemical and electrochemical stability as well as their excellent film-forming capability. This contribution deals with the development of blends based on polysulfone-sodium sulfonate and macromolecular/molecular solvents, consisting of poly(oxyethylene), POE, and propylene carbonate, PC, respectively. The objectives were to take advantage of both the thermomechanical performances and the macromolecular polyanions provided by the polysulfone ionomer. Combining POE/PC solvents, didn’t allow obtaining sufficient blend’s conductivities. Nevertheless, the addition of very low amounts of sodium perchlorate led to appreciable conductivities.
