摘要:
The copolymer includes divalent units represented by formula: (I), one or more independently selected fluorinated divalent units, and —SO2X end groups. In this formula, b is 2 to 8, c is 0 to 2, and e is 1 to 8. In each SO2X, X is independently F, —NZH, —NZSO2(CF2)1−6SO2X′, —NZ[SO2(CF2)aSO2NZ]1−10SO2X′, or —OZ, wherein Z is a hydrogen, an alkali-metal cation or a quaternary ammonium cation, X′ is independently —NZH or —OZ, and each a is independently 1 to 6. The copolymer has an —SO2X equivalent weight of up to 1000. The method includes copolymerizing components including fluorinated olefin and a compound represented by formula CF2═CF—CF2(O—CbF2b)c—O—(CeF2e)—SO2X′, wherein b, c, and e are as defined above. A method of making a membrane using the copolymer or ionomer is also provided. A polymer electrolyte membrane that includes the copolymer or the ionomer and a membrane electrode assembly that includes such a polymer electrolyte membrane are also provided.
摘要:
Described herein is a process for recovering a branched, ether-containing fluorinated emulsifier from an anion exchange resin by (1) contacting the anion exchange resin with a recovery fluid to form an eluate, the recovery fluid comprising an ammonium salt, water, and a water-miscible solvent, wherein the fluorinated emulsifier is of the formula: [Rf-(0-R′f)n-0-CF(CF3)-C(0)0-]i M+1; and (2) separating the anion exchange resin from the eluate.
