are not applicable because Nafion is insoluble, although the molecular weight has been estimated at 10⁵-10⁶ Da. Instead, the equivalent weight (EW) and material thickness are used to describe most commercially available membranes. The EW is the number of grams of dry Nafion per mole of sulfonic acid groups when the material is in the acid form. Nafion membranes are commonly categorized in terms of their EW and thickness. For example, Nafion 117 indicates an extrusion-cast membrane with 1100 g/mol EW and 0.007 inches
