Block copolymers including poly(phenylene) and methods thereof

DWPI Title: Composition useful in membrane, comprises substituted hydrocarbon containing copolymers
Abstract: The present invention relates to polymers and copolymer including a poly(phenylene) structure, as well as a long tether. In some embodiments, the long tether facilitates a reaction between the poly(phenylene) structure and another subunit of a second polymer. In some embodiments, the tether is flexible.
Use: The composition is useful in membrane (claimed).
Advantage: The composition provides membranes that exhibit display enhanced properties i.e. enhanced ion exchange capacity, decreased water uptake and/or enhanced durability (i.e. as determined by stress-strain measurements).
Novelty: Composition comprises substituted hydrocarbon containing copolymers (Ia).
