Abstract

The mechanical properties of Nafion are explained and modeled on the basis of Kafka’s general mesomechanical model and confronted with experimental results. In this approach, Nafion is looked upon as a composite consisting of three constituents: a crystalline Nafion, amorphous Nafion, and water. Taking into account the degree of hydration, its elastic, elastic-plastic, and hysteretic properties are discussed and modeled. It is shown how the interaction between the three constituents manifests itself on the macroscale.
