Summary:Trofimov et al establishes the basic possibility of exchanging Cl in a VC-BVE copolymer with sulfonic acid groups, and produces materials of promise as proton-conducting membranes for fuel elements. Among the industrial polymers, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polybutylvinyl ether (PBVE), which possess a combination of technically useful properties, are of considerable interest. Moreover, a series of new copolymers contains different structural units in their macromolecules: vinyl chloride, butylvinyl, sulphonate, and polyvinylene. Result establishes the high paramagnetism of insoluble copolymers and the possibility of producing, on the basis of soluble copolymers, conductive elastic films of promise as proton-conducting membranes for fuel elements.
