Fluorinated ionomer polymers form impermeable membranes that
conduct electricity, properties that have been put to use in
large-scale electrochemical applications, revolutionizing the
chlor-alkali industry and transforming production methods of some
of the world s highest-production commodity chemicals: chlorine,
sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. The use of fluorinated
ionomers such as Nafion(r) have removed the need for mercury and
asbestos in these processes and led to a massive reduction in
electricity usage in these highly energy-intensive processes.
Polymers in this group have also found uses in fuel-cells,
metal-ion recovery, water electrolysis, plating, surface treatment
of metals, batteries, sensors, drug release technologies, gas
drying and humidification, and super-acid catalysis used in the
production of specialty chemicals. Walther Grot, who invented
Nafion(r) while working for DuPont, has written this book as a
practical guide to engineers and scientists working in
electrochemistry, the fuel cell industry and other areas of
application. His book is a unique guide to this important polymer
group and its applications, in membranes and other forms. The 2e
expands this handbook by over a third, with new sections covering
developments in electrolysis and membranes, additional information
about the synthesis and science of the polymer group, and an
enhanced provision of reference data.
An essential reference for scientists working with electrolysis
and electrochemical processes (the use of this polymer group in
industrial chemistry processes is credited with a 1% reduction in
global electricity usage) Covers the techniques involved in the
growing range of applications for fluorinated ionomers, including
fuel cells, batteries and drug delivery The only book on this
important polymer group, written by Walther Grot, the inventor of
the leading fluorinated ionomer, Nafion(r) from DuPont
