  • Publication number: 20130115543
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a thermostable polymer electrolyte membrane which comprises a main chain comprising an alicyclic polybenzimidazole and a graft chain added to the main chain by radiation-induced graft polymerization, wherein at least a part of the graft chain has sulfonic acid groups. The thermostable polymer electrolyte membrane of the invention is used for many apparatuses such as polymer electrolyte fuel cells or water electrolysis devices, in which the electrolyte membrane exhibits high proton conductivity, low fuel permeability, high oxidation resistance and superior mechanical property under operation conditions at high temperature. The present invention also provides a simple and low-cost process for producing the same.

  • Publication number: 20060128940
    Abstract: This invention provides a luminescent organic polymer metal complex represented by polyQ.M.Kn-1 (1) which is obtained by the reaction of a polymer ligand (polyQ) with an 8-hydroxyquinoline derivative introduced to its side chain through a spacer group, an 8-hydroxyquinoline derivative ligand (K) and a divalent to tetravalent metal ion (Mn+) wherein the 8-hydroxyquinoline derivative ligand (K) has a bulky substituent. This invention also provides a luminescent organic polymer metal complex composition comprising said luminescent organic polymer metal complex and additionally a low-molecular-weight ligand and a process for producing the same.
