Abstract

Deuteron and oxygen-17 NMR linewidth and spin-lattice relaxation measurements in Nafion-117 films containing methanol at σ75% and σ100% saturation are reported. Molecular motion probed by room temperature measurements in stretched films and low T measurements in unstretched films is found to be quite rapid compared to previous results obtained for Nafion-117 containing water.
