On the Proton Conduction Pathways in Polyelectrolyte Membranes Based on Syndiotactic-Polystyrene

When functionalized by the solid-state sulfonation process, the amorphous regions of the semi-crystalline syndiotactic-polystyrene (sPS) become hydrophilic, and thus can conduct protons upon membrane hydration, which increases the interest in this material as a potential candidate for applications w...
