Development of an Experimentally Validated Non-linear Viscoelastic Viscoplastic Model for a Novel Fuel Cell Membrane Material

The proton exchange membrane (PEM) is a key component in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). During standard fuel cell operation, the PEM degrades due to cyclic hygrothermal loads, resulting in performance loss or total failure. Improvement of current PEM materials and development of cheap...
