Thermodynamics of sorption and distribution of water in nafion

In this work a model for the wetting and swelling of pores with water within a Nafion membrane is developed. This model is based on minimizing all contributions to the total free energy of the proposed system. We find that equilibrium state depends on entropic mixing forces and energetic surface for...
