    Abstract: Disclosed are a polymer electrolyte membrane and a membrane-electrode assembly comprising same, the membrane having, without a deterioration in performance such as ion conductivity, excellent mechanical properties, so as to ensure the manufacture of a membrane-electrode assembly having such high durability that the wet/dry cycle, which is measured according to accelerated durability test method of a NEDO protocol, is 30,000 times or more. The polymer electrolyte membrane of the present invention comprises: a porous support having a plurality of pores; and a composite layer including ionomers that fill the pores, wherein the ratio (IS/FS) of the stab initial strain (IS) of the polymer electrolyte membrane to the stab final strain (FS) of the polymer electrolyte membrane is 0.4 to 1.0.

    Abstract: Disclosed are: a polymer electrolyte membrane which can guarantee the production of a membrane-electrode assembly having excellent mechanical properties without a decrease in performance, such as in ionic conductivity, and thus having a high enough durability to achieve at least 30,000 wet/dry cycles as measured according to the NEDO protocol; a membrane-electrode assembly including the polymer electrolyte membrane; and a method for measuring the durability of the membrane-electrode assembly. The polymer electrolyte membrane according to the present invention comprises a composite layer including: a porous support having multiple pores; and ionomers filling the pores, and has an MD internal tearing strength of 150 N/mm or greater, a TD internal tearing strength of 150 N/mm or greater, a stab initial strain of 8% or less, and a stab final strain of 10% or less.
