Polarization and structural characteristics of nanocomposites based on the perfluorinated sulphocationic membranes and polyaniline Original Research Article

For the first time the effect of essential shift of the overlimiting state potentials on the current–voltage curves for the composite membranes PANI/MF-4SC has been observed. This effect is explained by morphology changes of initial membrane due to formation of interpolymeric complexes of electron-conducting polyaniline with polymer segments of perfluorinated matrix. The obtained results indicate the dominating role of water in the polarization phenomena.
