Patent number: 7160928Abstract: Methods are provided to make acid functional fluoropolymers by: a) dehydrofluorinating a starting fluoropolymer with a dehydrofluorinating agent to form an unsaturated fluoropolymer; b) adding an acidifiable nucleophilic functionalizing agent to a double bond of the unsaturated fluoropolymer; and c) acidifying the added acidifiable function. Acid functional fluoropolymers and ion conducting membranes thereof are also provided, including acid functional fluoropolymer having pendent groups according to the formula: —X—Ar—An, wherein X is selected from O, S or NR, where R is selected from H and C1–C30 alkyl or aryl, which are optionally substituted, wherein Ar is a C6–C30 aromatic group, which is optionally substituted, wherein A is an acidic function or salt thereof, wherein a can be independently chosen to be 1, 2 or 3.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2004Date of Patent: January 9, 2007Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Steven J. Hamrock, Naiyong Jing, Shane S. Mao, L. Charles Hardy
