Abstract

SPEEK (sulfonated polyether ether ketone) membranes were prepared and characterized. Geometry and theoretical vibration spectra of SPEEK membranes were calculated using density functional theory (DFT); the properties of SPEEK membranes depend on polymer chain length and cross-linking. Limitations of the method are analysed by comparing theoretical and experimental IR spectra.
