Abstract

Flexible and temperature tolerant nano-hybrid membranes consisting of zirconium (titanium) oxides and polydimethysiloxane (PDMS) with the different molecular mass of 4500 and 600 have been synthesized by sol-gel processes. The membrane of zirconium/PDMS=2 (in molar) showed enhanced thermal stability and flexibility up to 300°C due to the presence of cross-linkable inorganic nano-phase in the hybrid macromolecular matrix. The membrane becomes proton conducting polymer electrolyte when doped with 12-phosphotungstic acid (PWA). The proton conducting properties of the hybrid membranes with various PWA concentration were measured in the temperature range from room temperature to 150°C under saturated humidity conditions. A maximum conductivity of 2×10^-2 S/cm was obtained at 150°C when the PDMS/zirconium oxides hybrid matrix was changed to gel state due to the higher water activity at elevated temperatures.
