Electroactive Thermoplastics

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Proton-exchange membrane fuel cells are one of the most commercially important applications of electroactive polymers. It has been found that their performance can be optimized by controlling water transport via thin layers of ionomers with increasing equivalent weights in the catalyst layer (see Figure). Recent developments in this area are presented here within the context of development of innovative electroactive materials.
