Article Synopsis
- The study compares the electrical properties and behaviors of electrospun PVDF/Nafion blended fiber mats and membranes to those of corresponding solvent-cast membranes, revealing significant differences due to fabrication methods.
- * The research highlights the role of interactions between the two polymer components and how they affect electrical conductivity, particularly through various dielectric relaxation events and polarization phenomena.
- * Conductivity mechanisms involve hydrogen (H) migration processes within the blends, with results indicating that electrospun membranes lack large water clusters typical of Nafion, instead featuring thin solvation shells around the polar side chains under wet conditions.
