Polymer electrolyte membranes (PEM) with good properties are essential for the improvement of electrochemical operations. The increase in properties of polymer electrolyte membranes will develop the performance of polymer electrolyte membranes in the fuel cells. The importance of polymer electrolyte membranes is increasing recently due to its activity and simplicity in energy associated applications like automobiles and various portable applications. PEM has various properties like proton conductivity, chemical stability, mechanical properties, thermal stability and so on. These properties are enhanced and influenced by various factors like morphology, the molecular weight of the membranes, chemical structures, cross linkages etc. The present chapter attempts to summarize about the properties of polymer electrolyte membrane involved in the different types of electrochemical utilizations. Keywords: Polymer electrolyte membrane, fuel cells, morphology, proton conductivity, chemical structure.

AbstractNormally polymer electrolyte membranes are prepared and studied for applications in electrochemical devices. In this work, polymer electrolyte membranes have been used as the media to culture fractals. In order to simulate the growth patterns and stages of the fractals, a model has been identified based on the Brownian motion theory. A computer coding has been developed for the model to simulate and visualize the fractal growth. This computer program has been successful in simulating the growth of the fractal and in calculating the fractal dimension of each of the simulated fractal patterns. The fractal dimensions of the simulated fractals are comparable with the values obtained in the original fractals observed in the polymer electrolyte membrane. This indicates that the model developed in the present work is within acceptable conformity with the original fractal.
