Claim 3:
4. A polymer comprising:
a) one or more repeating unit of formula (IA) derived from a monomer of formula (I):, wherein:
 represents a position at which the bonding takes place with another repeat unit;
Y and Y′ are the same or different and independently of each other selected from the group consisting of —CH2—, —CH2—CH2— and —O—;
m is an integer from 0 to 3;
at least one of R1, R2, R3 and R4 is a group of the formula R—X, where R is selected from the group consisting of (C1-C10)alkylene, (C3-C8)cycloalkylene, (C1-C10)alkylene(C3-C8)cycloalkylene, (C1-C10)alkylene(C3-C8)cycloalkylene(C1-C10)alkylene, (C1-C10)alkylene(C6-C10)arylene and (C1-C10)alkylene(C6-C10)arylene(C1-C10)alkylene; and
X is a group of the formula N(R5)(R6)(R7)⊕OH⊖, where
at least one of R5, R6 and R7 is selected from the group consisting of: (C1-C10)alkyleneN(R5′)(R6′), (C3-C8)cycloalkyleneN(R5′)(R6′), (C1-C10)alkylene(C3-C8)cycloalkyleneN(R5′)(R6′), (C1-C10)alkylene(C3-C8)cycloalkylene(C1-C10)alkyleneN(R5′)(R6′), (C1-C10)alkylene(C6-C10)aryleneN(R5′)(R6′) and (C1-C10)alkylene(C6-C10)arylene(C1-C10)alkyleneN(R5′)(R6′);
R5′ and R6′ are the same or different and independently of each other selected from the group consisting of linear or branched (C1-C10)alkyl, (C3-C8)cycloalkyl, (C1-C10)alkyl(C3-C8)cycloalkyl and (C1-C10)alkyl(C6-C10)aryl;
the remaining R5, R6 and R7 are the same or different and independently of each other selected from the group consisting of linear or branched (C1-C10)alkyl, (C3-C8)cycloalkyl, (C1-C10)alkyl(C3-C8)cycloalkyl and (C1-C10)alkyl(C6-C10)aryl; and
the remaining R1, R2, R3 and R4 are independently of each other selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, linear or branched (C1-C10)alkyl, (C3-C8)cycloalkyl, (C1-C10)alkyl(C3-C8)cycloalkyl and (C1-C10)alkyl(C6-C10)aryl; and
wherein the polymer is a random polymer when it contains more than one distinct repeat unit of formula (IA) and the repeat unit is crosslinked with another repeat unit on the same or different polymer chains such that the polymer has at least two percent of the available sites reacted between the repeat units and exhibits ion conductivity of at least 150 mS/cm at 80° C.
