Abstract

Embodiments of the invention relate to a novel class of polymers with superior mechanical properties and chemical stability, as compared to known polymers. These polymers are particularly well suited for use in anion exchange membranes (AEMs), including those employed in fuel cells. Novel methods for the manufacture of these polymers are also described.

Claims (8)

1. A polymer of formula 2A

wherein r is from 100 to 1,000,000, Z is a quaternary ammonium group, and n is from 1 to 20.

2. The polymer of claim 1 , wherein Z includes

or combinations thereof.

3. A polymer of formula 2B

wherein r is from 100 to 1,000,000, Z is a quaternary ammonium group, and n is from 1 to 20.

4. The polymer of claim 3 , wherein Z includes

or combinations thereof.
