Influence of Rigid-Soft Domains on Proton Conduction and Microstructure in Block Copolymer Membranes

Key Points

• This research aims to explore how rigid-soft domains influence proton conduction in block copolymer membranes.
• Integration of rigid plastic poly (ether ether ketone) with ionic copolymers
• Investigation of the chemical properties of distinct domains
• Analysis of proton transport mechanisms
• Increased proton conduction observed with domain integration
• Improved stability in block copolymer membranes
• Altered microstructure enhances overall performance
