  • Patent number: 8729219
    Abstract: A polyarylene block copolymer can provide a solid polymer electrolyte and proton conductive membrane having high proton conductivity, high dimensional stability, and high mechanical strength. The polyarylene block copolymer also has reduced swelling in hot water and reduced shrinkage in drying. The polyarylene block copolymer includes a polymer segment having a sulfonic acid group, and a polymer segment having substantially no sulfonic acid group.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 8, 2011
    Date of Patent: May 20, 2014
    Assignee: JSR Corporation
