Water Effect on the Deformation Behavior of Nafion Membrane

Article Preview

Abstract:

The water channels inside the Nafion membrane are considered as the elastic particles and the effect of the elastic modulus of the particles on the deformation behavior of the membrane is discussed with a particle-contained composite model, which is constituted based on the homogenization method. The results show that the deformation resistance of the membrane is quite dependent on the elastic modulus of the particles, whereas the strain softening behavior after the yielding of the membrane is almost derived from the onset and the propagation of the localized shear band in the matrix, which also leads to the dramatic disappearance of the entanglement points in the molecular chain network of the matrix.
