英文摘要： Abstract:The chemical and mechanical durability and stability of elastic gasket seals in proton exchange membrane fuel cell operating conditions which is high temperature, acidic and exists a compressive load, is important to the electrochemical property and safety of fuel cell. With the help of modern material advanced analysis techniques the aging process of the elastomer is analyzed under the synergistic effect of temperature-load-chemistry multiple factors in PEM fuel cell environment. It is attempted to reveal the degradation mechanism from microscopic molecular structure. Then, the change law of mechanical properties is studied by mechanical tests and the damage constitutive model is hoping to be established. Finally, based on Time-Temperature Superposition Principle, Arrhenius method and mechanical test data, the life assessment method of elastic materials exposed to fuel cell environment is established. In this interdisciplinary program the mechanical, chemical and material analyses were included. Through the accomplishment of this project, the basic rule of environmental failure of the gasket materials used in fuel cell through the view point of chemo-mechanical analysis can be found and the life assessment method which can be used for engineering application can be developed. Also, the results can provide a scientific guidance and theoretical foundation for high reliability and safety of fuel cell and for low cost and long-term durability gasket materials.
