Abstract

Poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-chlorotrifluoroethylene) P(VDF-co-CTFE) polymer was attached to methacrylic acid (MAA) in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undec-7-ene(DBU) catalyst to prepare P(VDF-co-CTFE)-MAA copolymer. The modified P(VDF-co-CTFE)-MAA was polymerized with 2-sulfoethyl methacrylate (SEMA) monomer in the presence of 4',4'-azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid(ACVA) initiator by free radical polymerization to form the proton conducting membrane. The ratio of the SEMA was increased in the membrane to increase the presence of the acidic group. The maximum IEC value that was observed at 50% SEMA was around 0.82 meq/g, which is consistent with the water uptake value. The highest proton conductivity achieved by P(VDF-co-CTFE)-MAA/SEMA membrane with 50% SEMA was approximately 0.041 S/cm. This indicates that the available ionic group for the proton conduction increases with the increase in the SEMA in the membrane.

촉매 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undec-7-ene(DBU)를 이용하여, poly(vinylidenefluoride-co-chlorotrifluoroethylene) P(VDF-co-CTFE) 고분자와 methacrylic acid (MAA)를 반응시켜, P(VDF-co-CTFE)-MAA 공중합체를 제조하였다. 또한 P(VDF-co-CTFE)-MAA와 2-sulfoethyl methacrylate (SEMA) 단량체를 4',4'-azobis(4-cyanovaleric acid) (ACVA) 개시제 하에서 자유 라디칼 중합하여 수소 이온 전도성 막을 제조하였다. SEMA 함량이 많아짐에 따라 술폰산 그룹이 증가하였다. SEMA 함량이 50%일 때 최대 이온교환 용량값이 0.82 meq/g에 도달하였으며 이는 함수량 결과와 일치하였다. 또한, SEMA 함량이 50%일 때 수소이온 전도도가 0.041 S/cm까지 도달하였다. 이러한 결과는 분리막에서 SEMA 함량이 증가할수록 수소 이온을 전달시킬 수 있는 이온그룹이 증가하기 때문이다.
