J. C. D. FILHO, T. R. DOS SANTOS, A. DE SOUZA GOMES

Abstract



Proton-conducting nanocomposite membranes consisting of poly(ether ether ketone) sulfonated (SPEEK) and titanium oxide (TiO2) were prepared by sol-gel technique. The TiO2 incorporation effect on membrane properties such as ethanol uptake, pervaporation and proton conductivity was investigated.
