NANOMEMC2 partners NTNU and UNIBO just published a paper on the fabrication and characterization of Nafion/PEGDME hybrid membranes.

Highlights from the paper are:

• Nafion-based hybrid membranes were fabricated with PEGDME content up to 60 wt%.
• Addition of PEGDME 250 into Nafion improves CO2 permeability for 36 times at dry state.
• Optimal separation performance was obtained at 100% RH with 40 wt% PEGDME 250.
• High PEGDME content in Nafion leads to undesirable micro phase separation.
• The modified Maxwell model provides a good estimation of the performance under humid conditions.
