A new bisphenol monomer, 9,9-bis(3,5-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl) fluorene, was synthesized and polymerized to form fluorene-based poly(arylene ether sulfone) copolymers containing tetra-methoxy groups (MPAES). After converting the methoxy group reactive hydroxyl group, respective side-chain type sulfonated (SPAES) were obtained by sulfobutylation. The polymers characterized 1H NMR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), water uptake, proton methanol transport for fuel cell applications. These...

Sulfonated poly(arylene sulfide sulfone nitrile)s (SN) were synthesized to investigate the effects of naphthalene units in polymer backbone on membrane properties. The small and planar main chain reduced interdomain distance, as confirmed by molecular simulations small-angle X-ray scattering patterns. SN membranes exhibited excellent chemical mechanical properties, better than those their phenylene counterpart (SP). In particular, water uptake swelling ratio much lower SP membranes....

We present a new approach of morphological transformation for effective proton transport within ionomers, even at partially hydrated states. Highly sulfonated poly(phenylene sulfide nitrile) (XESPSN) random network copolymers were synthesized as alternatives to state-of-the-art perfluorinated polymers such Nafion®. A combination thermal annealing and cross-linking, which was conducted 250 °C by simple trimerisation ethynyl groups the chain termini, results in transformation. The resulting...

ABSTRACT In the present study, characterization of columnar aerosol optical properties and classifying major types was investigated at an urban–industrial city, Nanjing in Yangtze River Delta ( YRD ) region over East China using simultaneous data sets retrieved from MODerate resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer MODIS Ozone Monitoring Instrument OMI sensors during 2004–2015. A notable spatiotemporal heterogeneity observed aerosols on seasonal scale China. Aerosol depth 550 nm AOD exhibited...

Two series of random sulfonated poly(benzothiazole-co-benzimidazole) polymers (sPBT-BI) with 70% and 60% degree sulfonation were evaluated as proton exchange membranes. sPBT was also prepared for a comparative study. The mechanical properties sPBT-BI greatly enhanced by incorporation benzimidazole (BI); sPBT-BI70-10 showed tensile strength 125 MPa elongation at break 38.9%, an increase 56.5% 145%, respectively, compared sPBT. solubility, dimensional stability, thermal properties, oxidative...

We report on the straightforward metal-free synthesis of poly(p-terphenyl perfluorophenylsulfonic acid)s by efficient superacid-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts polycondensations commercially available perfluoroacetophenone and p-terphenyl, followed sulfonation pendant pentafluorophenyl groups via a selective quantitative thiolation-oxidation procedure. The stiff well-defined polymer structure with precisely sequenced highly acidic units induces ionic clustering, restricted water uptake swelling,...

Phosphonated aromatic polymers show several important advantages as proton exchange membranes (PEMs), including high thermal and chemical stability. However, the conductivity generally needs to be significantly enhanced for most electrochemical applications. Here, we have prepared a series poly(p-terphenyl perfluoroalkylene)s functionalized with highly acidic perfluorophenylphosphonic acid by first carrying out triflic mediated polyhydroxylations involving p-terphenyl,...
