Block copolymers including poly(phenylene) and methods thereof

DWPI Title: Composition for electrolyte membranes comprises block copolymers including poly(phenylene) structure or its salt
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: A composition for electrolyte membranes.
Advantage: The composition has a long tether which facilitates a reaction between the poly(phenylene) structure and another subunit of a second polymer, where the tether is flexible. The long tethers allow for a reaction between a 1st polymeric segment at reduced reaction temperatures, reducing the potential for forming a solid.
Novelty: A composition comprises block copolymers including poly(phenylene) structure (II) or its salt.
