This paper describes approaches to reduce susceptibility of perfluorosulfonic acid membranes such as Nafion® to degradation through chemical attack by oxygen-based radicals and physical degradation as a result of mechanical stress. These approaches include the incorporation of a continuous reinforcing layer and modification of the polymer to stabilize it against attack by peroxide radicals.
