Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for increasing the content of bifunctional species in mixtures of non functional, mono- and bifunctional (per)fluoropolyethers which comprises the adsorption of a (per)fluoropolyether mixture onto an adsorbing stationary phase, a first desorption step with a supercritical fluid only and a second desorption step with the supercritical fluid and a mixture of a polar solvent.
Abstract:
A composition comprising at least one fluorinated polymer comprising —SO2X functional groups, wherein X is selected from X′ or from OM and wherein X′ is selected from the group consisting of F, CI, Br, I and M is selected from the group consisting of H, alkaline metals, NH4, and at least one fluorinated aromatic compound. Ion conducting membranes comprising the composition have improved resistance towards radical degradation in fuel cell applications.
