Partially fluorinated poly(arylene ether) copolymer having reactive functional group are used to fabricate the MEA to improve the interfacial adhesion between membrane and electrode. The optimum MEA processing procedure was studied using different hot pressing temperature and crosslinking. Good interfacial adhesion between hydrocarbon membrane and Nafion bonded electrode produced excellent fuel cell performance which was comparable to the MEA using Nafion 212.
