Abstract:

This study reports the effect of plasticizers namely isopropanol, polyethylene glycol, maltitol and spermidine on the properties of the sodium alginate composite membrane. The concentration of each potential plasticizer was set at minimum to execute performance. Properties of sodium alginate were studied through characterization studies - Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) to observe on the morphology structure. The membrane performance is also seen through water uptake and swelling ratio tests. Isopropanol produced better plasticizer with the lowest water uptake of 575.53% and less hydrophilic compared to spermidine (1268.46%), polyethylene glycol (1014.30%) and maltitol (595.82%). Further study may require copolymerization to support polyol for ensuring structure firmness. This study proven the plasticizers could enhance membrane’s flexibility in DMFC and becoming a promising choice of additives for better alginate-based membrane establishment.
