Two series of membranes A and B were designed and prepared by the following synthesis protocols where the cross- linked membranes were composed of highly sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) as the acidic component and polyphosphazenes backbone as the basic component. Membrane A was synthesized based on the graft- onto reaction between brominated poly[(4- methoxyphenoxy)(4- methylphenoxy) phosphazenes] (PMMPBr) and SPEEK3 polymers, while membranes B were obtained by the reaction of bromomethyl groups of polyphosphazenes with triethylamine and simultaneously combined with various amounts of SPEEK3. All the membranes were characterized chemically, thermally, and mechanically by a set of technical means. Polyphosphazenes were found to constrain to a large extent the water uptake and swelling when blended with highly sulfonated PEEK providing sufficient mechanical strength without over-swelling. Specially, the advent of sulfonated single- walled carbon nanotubes (SCNT) in the membrane A led to the hybrid membrane A2: 1- SCNT with favorable properties. It exhibited a satisfying proton conductivity of 0.132 S cm(-1) at 80 degrees C and a very low methanol permeability of 2.16x10(-7) cm(2) s(-1), and retained considerable thermal stability as well as mechanical strength. Also, the fuel cell performance of A2: 1- SCNT at 25 degrees C was higher than that of recast membrane A2: 1.
