Synthesis and characterization of sulfonated poly(eugenol-co-allyleugenol) membranes for proton exchange membrane fuel cells.

The research of sulfonated eugenol-allyleugenol copolymer (SPEAE) based membrane for fuel cell from eugenol derivate had been conducted. First, eugenol was reacted with various weights of allyl eugenol to form eugenol-allyleugenol copolymer (PEAE). Determination of the optimum composition of PEAE was done by testing the swelling properties.
