Multiscale Tortuous Diffusion in Anion- and Cation-Exchange Membranes: Exploration of Counterions, Water Content, and Polymer Functionality
… is critical for improving ion conductivity in polymer electrolyte membranes (PEMs). Herein, we present comprehensive water transport measurements comparing anion-exchange membranes (AEMs) based on ammonium-functionalized poly(phenylene oxide) and cation-exchange membranes (CEMs) based on …

Synthesis and Characterization of Toughened Thermally Rearranged Polymers, Poly(2,6-Dimethylphenylene-oxide) Based Copolymers and Polymer Blends for Gas Separation Membranes
Thermally rearranged (TR) polymers have outstanding gas separation properties, but are limited in their industrial application due to being mechanically brittle. A series of low volume fraction of a poly(arylene ether sulfone) (PAES) block was introduced into the TR precursor polyhydroxyimide (PI) …
