Resumo: |
The biopolymer Chitosan has become object of several studies in recent years as proton conductive polymer membrane of hydrogen into PEM fuel cells. The main reasons are related to the possibility to undergo chemical and physical changes due to amine groups present, and its low cost. The schoolwork testing Chitosan membranes as proton conductivity, generally employ arrays of other polymers together, forming composites with properties better suited for this purpose. Very few schoolwork bother to study the effect of the properties of chitosan on the obtaining of these membranes, and Chitosan membranes are usually employed. The aim of this project was to develop membranes of Chitosan from shrimp shell of fresh water produced in Western Paraná, to be used as electrolyte fuel cells and comparing the results with those presented by the use of commercial Chitosan sample. This schoolwork investigated the influence of degree of deacetylation (GD), molar mass and reticulation of the different samples of chitosan on the performance of the membranes obtained front proton conductivity, water absorption, ion exchange capacity, mechanical strength, XRD and TGA. Chitosan QB, produced in the laboratory, presented desired characteristics of 76% GD and molar mass of 64 kDA. These properties have improved the performance of Chitosan membranes, as well as the crosslinking. The FTIR analysis proved that the crosslinking did not alter the functional groups of Chitosan, while the DRX found that the character of the MQBs became more amorphous than the MQAs and, in general, by the dTG says that the membranes have thermal stability up to 600-700° C, suitable to be applied in CaC. MQB04 and MQB05 membranes resulted in higher conductivity of 1.9 and 1.6 x 10-2 respectively and, in this case, the crosslinking provided better mechanical resistance of up to 45 N to the MQB04 membrane. The protonic conductivity obtained for MQB04 and MQB05 was significant, but still low compared to Nafion®. However, the versatility of Chitosan and the possibility of exploration and chemical modifications of its structure, still making it attractive for the research and development of Proton conducting polymeric membranes with superior performance to found in this schoolwork |
