摘要：

Water uptake, sorption mechanics and swelling characteristics of thin-film Nafion and a commercially available Tokuyama alkaline anion exchange membrane ionomer from the vapour phase is explored using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The water uptake measures the number of water molecules adsorbed by the ionomer per functional group and is determined in-situ using the QCM frequency responses allowing for comparison with nanogram precision. Crystal admittance spectroscopy, along with equivalent circuit fitting, is applied to both thin films for the first time and is used to investigate the ionomer's viscoelastic changes during hydration; to elucidate the mechanisms at play during low, medium and high relative humidities.
