Abstract
In this work,Nafion /PTFE composite membrane was obtained by impregnating Nafion resin into the porous PTFE substrate membrane.For the obtained composite membrane,the Nafion content is about 50%.Mechanical properties such as the tensile strengths of dry and wet composite membranes and shrinkage upon dehydration were improved compared with Nafion membranes.The fuel cell performance of the 25_μm_thick composite membrane was superior to that of Nafion 117 membrane.The oxygen permeability and water content of the composite membranes were also measured and compared with Nafion membranes.
