摘要
This article describes for the first time the preparation of conducting track-etched FBI membranes 25 mm thick with pore diameter values varying from 15 nm to 50 nm and overall porosity up to 10%. The TGA, DSC and PPR characterization results for the so obtained nanoporous membranes reveal the chemical modification of FBI upon irradiation along the track walls. A clear conduction outperforming is shown by phosphoric acid doped track-etched FBI in comparison with dense FBI counterparts. This behavior could be explained by the effective contribution of additional pathways for proton transport involving shorter benzimidazole fragments, cross-linked FBI nanodomains and free amphoteric phosphoric acid molecules settled on the pore walls.
