Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition for making an electrolyte layer suitable for use in an electrochromic device, combining transparency and adhesion to glazing, to an electrolyte layer obtained therefrom, to an electrochromic device comprising the same, and to its use as glazing.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a liquid composition comprising a polymer bearing —SO3H groups and a perfluoroelastomer, a method for manufacturing said liquid composition and an article manufactured by using said composition. Preferably, said article is a proton exchange membrane, which shows at the same time good mechanical resistance and electrochemical properties and is useful for example as separator in fuel cells.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains a fluoropolymer [polymer (F)] comprising: —recurring units derived from at least one ethylenically unsaturated fluorinated monomer [monomer (FM)]; —from 5% to 60% by moles [with respect to the total moles of recurring units of polymer (F)] of recurring units derived at least one ethylenically unsaturated fluorinated monomer containing at least one —SO2F functional group [monomer (IO)]; and —from 0.01% to 10% by moles [with respect to the total moles of recurring units of polymer (F)] of recurring units derived from at least one monomer comprising an azide group [monomer (Az)], to a process for its manufacture, to a cross-linkable composition comprising the same, to a process for cross-linking the same and to articles comprising the cross-linked polymer.
Abstract:
A mixed oxide of Si and at least one metal M comprising inorganic groups —SO3H. The addition of the mixed oxide to fluorinated polymers containing sulfonic acid functional groups increases their stability towards radical degradation when used in fuel cell applications.
