Abstract: Hydrocarbon proton exchange membranes are disclosed that are composed of a material including a hydrophobic main chain, and acidic side chains. The main chain includes a polyaryl structure that is substantially free of ether linkages and also includes a fluoromethyl substituted carbon. The acidic side chains include a hydrocarbon tether terminated by a strongly acidic group, such as a fluoroalkyl sulfonate group. Chemical stability of the material is increased by removing the ether linkages from the main chain. The hydrophobic main chain and substantially hydrophilic side chains create a phase-separated morphology that affords enhanced transport of protons and water across the membrane even at low relative humidity levels. These materials are advantageous as membranes for use in fuel cells, redox flow batteries, water hydrolysis systems, sensors, electrochemical hydrogen compressors, actuators, water purifiers, gas separators, etc.

Abstract: Disclosed is a binder composition for secondary batteries, wherein conjugated diene latex particles (A) having an average particle diameter of 50 nm or more and 200 nm or less and acrylic copolymer latex particles (B) having an average particle diameter of 300 nm or more and 700 nm or less are present as an independent phases, and the acrylic copolymer latex particles (B) are included in an amount of 1% to 30% by weight based on a mass of a solid. When the binder composition according to the present invention is applied to an electrode mixture and lithium secondary battery, superior binding force may be maintained between electrode materials and between an electrode material and a current collector, which suffer volume change during charge/discharge, and a secondary battery having superior initial capacity and efficiency may be provided. In addition, thickness increase and gas generation are decreased at high temperature and thus swelling is decreased, whereby a battery having enhanced safety may be provided.

Abstract: Disclosed are a binder with a core-shell structure for a secondary battery electrode, and a secondary battery including the same, wherein the core includes styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR), the shell includes a copolymer of two or more monomers selected from the group consisting of a conjugated diene-based monomer, a (meth)acrylic ester-based monomer, an acrylate-based monomer, a vinyl-based monomer, a nitrile-based monomer, and an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer, and the binder includes a functional group providing binding capacity to surfaces of the SBR particles. Such a binder provides excellent adhesive strength and elasticity and, thus, overall performance of a secondary battery including the same may be improved.

Abstract: The invention relates to the ladder-type blue light-emitting polymers with excellent heat stability which are polymerized either grafting with blue luminescent monomers on the polymer backbones or adding fluorene to styrene monomers. The above blue light-emitting polymers have a high glass transition temperature and a 5%-weight-loss temperature above 400° C. Accordingly these polymers can be used as blue luminescent materials in the display devices and as luminescent cases for home appliances or cellular phones.
