Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Multi-acid polymers for use as a fuel cell membrane, for example, have multi-acid monomers that have an imide base and more than two proton conducting groups. The multi-acid polymers are made by reacting a polymer precursor in sulfonyl fluoride or sulfonyl chloride form with a compound with an acid giving group. One example of a multi-acid polymer is: wherein R is one or more units of a non-SO 2 F or non-SO 2 Cl portion of a polymer precursor in sulfonyl fluoride or sulfonyl chloride form.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A multi-acid polymer having a multi-acid monomer with a following formula: wherein R is one or more units of a non-SO 2 F or non-SO 2 Cl portion of a polymer precursor in sulfonyl fluoride or sulfonyl chloride form. 2. The multi-acid polymer of claim 1 , wherein the polymer precursor is 2-allyloxy-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro ethane sulfonyl fluoride. 3. The multi-acid polymer of claim 1 , wherein the polymer precursor is 4-(trifluoro vinyl) benzene sulfonyl fluoride. 4. The multi-acid polymer of claim 1 , wherein the polymer precursor is p-styrene sulfonyl fluoride/chloride. 5. The multi-acid polymer of claim 1 , wherein the polymer precursor is perfluoro (3-oxapent-4-ene) sulfonyl fluoride. 6. The multi-acid polymer of claim 1 , wherein the polymer precursor is ethene sulfonyl fluoride. 7. A multi-acid membrane made from the multi-acid polymer of claim 1 . 8. A multi-acid polymer having a multi-acid monomer with a following formula: wherein R is one or more units of a non-SO 2 F or non-SO 2 Cl portion of a polymer precursor in sulfonyl fluoride or sulfonyl chloride form. 9. A multi-acid membrane made from the multi-acid polymer of claim 8 . 10. The multi-acid polymer of claim 8 , wherein the polymer precursor is 2-allyloxy-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro ethane sulfonyl fluoride. 11. The multi-acid polymer of claim 8 , wherein the polymer precursor is 4-(trifluoro vinyl) benzene sulfonyl fluoride. 12. The multi-acid polymer of claim 8 , wherein the polymer precursor is p-styrene sulfonyl fluoride/chloride. 13. The multi-acid polymer of claim 8 , wherein the polymer precursor is perfluoro (3-oxapent-4-ene) sulfonyl fluoride. 14. The multi-acid polymer of claim 8 , wherein the polymer precursor is ethene sulfonyl fluoride.
