Novel proton conducting composite membranes were synthesized by blending Nafion ® polymer with sulfonated organosilicon dendrimers (G3-S). Blending G3-S with Nafion resulted in stable, flexible membranes with loadings up to 10% by weight. The high amount of sulfonic acid groups on the dendrimer increased the ion exchange capacity and improved the water retention capability of the composite...
