Abstract
The present invention aims to provide an ionomer that can exhibit high oxygen permeability, especially under both low- and high-humidified conditions, and high power generation durability. The high oxygen permeable ionomer includes a specific repeating unit A and repeating unit B and has an equivalent weight of 250 to 930 and a glass transition temperature of 100° C. to 130° C.
Claims9
An ionomer, comprising:
- a repeating unit A;
- a repeating unit B, and
- a repeating unit C,
- the ionomer having an equivalent weight of 250 to 930 and a glass transition temperature of 100° C. to 130° C.,
- the amount of the repeating unit B is 16 to 45 mol %, relative to all the repeating units,
- the repeating unit B being represented by the formula (2):
- wherein Rp represents a monovalent group having a proton exchange group,
- wherein the repeating unit A is at least one repeating unit selected from the group consisting of:
- a repeating unit represented by the formula (3):
- wherein m3 represents an integer of 2 to 6;
- and
- a repeating unit represented by the formula (4):
- wherein Y41 represents F or a C1-C3 perfluoroalkyl group;
- k4 represents 0 or 1;
- n4 represents an integer of 1 to 8;
- when n4 represents an integer of 2 to 8, Y41 in each of respective units —(CF2CFY41—O)n4— may be the same as or different from each other;
- and m4 represents an integer of 1 to 6,
- wherein the repeating unit C that is at least one repeating unit selected from the group consisting of:
- a repeating unit represented by the formula (7):
- wherein Rf71 represents F, Cl, or a C1-C9 linear or branched fluoroalkyl group, and
- a repeating unit represented by the formula (8):
- wherein Y81 represents H or F;
- Y82 represents F or a C1-C9 linear or branched fluoroalkyl group;
- and Y83 represents H, F, Cl, or a C1-C9 linear or branched fluoroalkyl group.
