Preparation of ion exchange polymers based on polyolefins and polycycloolefins using acid catalyst
RPI ID: 2019-016-401 Innovation Summary: This invention introduces a new class of ion-exchange membranes synthesized from olefin/norbornene copolymers with tunable rigidity. By incorporating haloalkyl side chains via Friedel-Crafts alkylation and subsequently replacing halides with ionic groups, the membranes achieve superior ion conductivity and chemical...

Photo-initiated Simultaneous Post-functionalization and Crosslinking of Epoxidized Styrene Diene Block Copolymers
RPI ID: 2018-028-201Innovation Summary:This invention provides a method for producing anion exchange membranes (AEMs) by chemically modifying polystyrene-block-polybutadiene-block-polystyrene (SBS) polymers. The process involves partial hydrogenation followed by epoxidation of the remaining double bonds, resulting in membranes with enhanced ionic conductivity...
