Patents by Inventor Chong-bok Yoon

Chong-bok Yoon has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 6955712
    Abstract: A proton-conducting polymer, a preparation method thereof, a polymer membrane manufactured from the proton-conducting polymer, and a fuel cell having the polymer membrane are provided. The proton-conducting polymer contains an acid-bearable aromatic group covalently bonded to its polyimide backbone and a proton-conducting acid group attached to the aromatic group. A polymer membrane manufactured from the proton-conducting polymer has greater mechanical strength and ionic (protonic) conductivity than existing sulfonated polyimide membranes and thus improves the performance of fuel cells. In addition, the proton-conducting polymer membrane is low cost, enabling automobile fuel cells to be commercialized. Since the proton-conducting polymer membrane is less permeable to methanol, it can be used effectively for DMFCs without causing cell performance degradation.
