Patent ID: 8349905

Claim:
A proton-conducting polymer represented by the following Formula 1: wherein m is 0.01 to 0.99; n is an integer from 10 to 1,000; Y is independently a chemical bond, oxygen (O), or sulfur (S); D and E are independently a divalent linking group comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C10 alkylene group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C10 alkenylene group, a substituted or unsubstituted C6-C20 arylene group, a sulfonyl group (—(SO 2 )—), and a carbonyl group (—(C═O)—); and Z is represented by the following Formula 2a: wherein A is independently any one of substituents represented by the following Formula 3a: wherein R 1 to R 24 are independently hydrogen; a sulfonic acid group (—SO 3 M); a phosphate group (—PO 3 M); a carboxylic acid group (—CO 2 M, wherein M is H + , Na + , or K + ); a sulfonyl group; or a C1-C10 alkyl or C6-C20 aryl group substituted with a sulfonic acid group, a phosphate group, a carboxylic acid group, or a sulfonyl group.
