Article Description

The surface morphology of dry and swollen Nafion films was investigated on the micrometer and nanometer scale by scanning force microscopy. The results show that the disordered network structure of dry films undergoes a reorganization process in the course of swelling and transforms into an ordered structure of parallel fibrils. No substantial changes in the fibril dimensions were found in the swollen state. This can be an indicator that swelling occurs at the supramolecular level. © 1994 Springer-Verlag.
