Analysis of the aging mechanism and life evaluation of elastomers in simulated proton exchange membrane fuel cell environments

This paper studies the aging mechanism of elastomeric gaskets made from silicone rubbers in simulated proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) in humid, acidic, and high-temperature environments. The changes in the surface morphology are observed using optical microscopy. Attenuated total reflec...
