A proton exchange membrane was prepared by ${\gamma}-irradiation-induced$ grafting of styrene into poly(tetrafluoro-ethylene-co-perfluoropropyl vinyl ether) (PFA) and subsequent sulfonation reaction. The degree of grafting (DOG) increased with an increase in the absorbed dose. The prepared membranes showed high ion exchange capacity reaching 3.0 meq/g, which exceeded the performance of commercially available perfluorosulfonic acid membranes such as Nafion. The proton conductivity of PFA-g-PSSA membrane increased with the DOG and reached 0.17 S/cm for the highest sample at room temperature. The DMFC performance of the prepared membranes with 50% DOG was comparable to that of Nafion membrane.

Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) has been widely used in long-span buildings because of its light weight and high transparency. This paper studies the short and long term creep behaviour of ETFE foil. A series of short-term creep and recovery tests were performed, in which the residual strain was observed. A long-term creep test of the ETFE foil was also performed over 110 days. A viscoelastic-plastic model was then established to describe the short-term creep and recovery behaviour. The model contains a traditional multi-Kelvin part and an added steady-flow component to represent the viscoelastic and viscoplastic behaviour, respectively. The model successfully fit the data for three stresses and six temperatures. Additionally, time-temperature equivalency was adopted to predict the long-term creep behaviour of ETFE foil. Horizontal shifting factors were determined from the process of shifting creep-curves at six temperatures. The long-term creep behaviours at three temperatures were predicted. Finally, the long-term creep test showed that the short-term creep test at identical temperatures insufficiently predicted additional creep behaviour, and the long-term test verified the horizontal shifting factors derived from the time-temperature equivalency.

여러 종류의 불소고분자내로 다양한 유기용매들의 동적 흡수 평형 (혹은 팽윤) 실험을 진행하였다. 불소로 포화된 고분자는 이상적 흡수 거동을 나타내었으나 부분적으로 치환된 불소고분자는 최종 흡수단계에서 가속화되는 비이상적 흡수 거동을 나타내었다. 회귀분석에 의해 픽-확산 거동으로부터 벗어나는 정도를 최소자승법 (즉, ∑ ［측정값-예측값］$^2$)으로 구한 결과 -퍼플루오로알콕시 공중합체, 폴리(에틸렌 테트라플루오로에틸렌) 공중합체, 폴리(비닐리덴 플루오라이드), 폴리(에틸렌 클로로트리플루오로에틸렌) 공중합체에 대해 각각 3.0${\times}$$10^{-4}$, 1.75${\times}$$10^{-3}$, 8.68${\times}$$10^{-3}$, 1.75${\times}$$10^{-2}$의 수치를 나타내었다. 응력-변형 실험 결과 비-픽 확산 거동은 팽윤된 불소고분자의 기계적 성질 (탄성률과 인장 강도) 변화와 상관관계가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 비이상적 흡수 거동의 주요 원인은 치환된 수소 혹은 염소와 불소원자 간의 전기음성도 차이에 기인한 사슬 간극성 결합 구조가 침투성분의 가소화 효과에 의해 비선형적 이완이 진행되면서 비-픽 확산이 진행되기 때문이다. 따라서 부분적으로 치환된 불소고분자를 차단성 혹은 선택적 투과기능이 요구되는 분야에 적용할 때 가소화 성분에 대한 용해 및 확산 거동에 대한 신중한 고찰이 필요하다.
