Properties of poly (vinylidene fluoride)-co-poly (vinylimidazole) solid polymer electrolytes prepared by radiation-induced grafting method for proton exchange membrane fuel cell / Ajis Lepit

Solid polymer membranes based on graft copolymerization of 1-Vinylimidazole (VIm) onto polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) were synthesized. The graft copolymerization process was carried out under nitrogen atmosphere by a radiationinduced grafting (RiG) in aqueous medium. Ferrous ions were used as a red...
