FWF project “PRO-CVD: Proton conductive copolymers by initiated Chemical Vapor Deposition” (P26993) | ||
The projects aim at the vapor deposition of proton conductive copolymers to study the proton conductivity as a function of the chemical composition (ratio among hydrophobic and acid components, type or length of chemical groups) and as a function of the polymer physical properties (e.g. swelling in water, effect of crystalline order, ionic channels formation). The ultimate goal will be to understand how the properties of the copolymers affect the proton conductivity and the stability of the material at high temperature and in wet environment. A vapor-based deposition technique, initiated Chemical Vapor Deposition (iCVD) will be used to synthetize the materials, plus spectroscopic ellipsometry and x-ray based techniques for the characterization. | ||
