Porous Proton- and Chloride-Ion Conducting Layers Based on Ethanolamine Derivatives of PVC on the Surfaces of Fabrics

Materials are produced with porous layers based on ethanolamine derivatives of PVC or compounds of active carbon with hydroxyethylcyclam derivatives of PVC with aqua complexes of chloride hydrogen cross-linked with the surface of cellulose or asbestos fabric. Their capacity for sorption with respect to hexane and benzene in the saturated vapor and liquid phases is determined. The dependences of current on voltage in a circuit are determined for bridges composed of these materials in air, and in the vapor and liquid phases of benzene and hexane between 3 M HCl solutions and 3 M HCl solutions containing 3 M CaCl₂. It is established that only H⁺ ions migrate along the bridges between the HCl solutions, and H⁺ and Cl^– ions were the only species that moved along the bridges between the HCl solutions containing CaCl₂. The voltages at which the movement of ions starts are determined, and constants characterizing the conductivity of the layers are found. It is shown that these parameters depend on the structure of a layer, the nature of the fabric, and the medium surrounding a bridge.
