Indirect sulfonation of telechelic poly(styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene) via chloromethylation for preparation of sulfonated membranes as proton exchange membranes
The indirect sulfonation, via chloromethylation, of poly(styrene-(ethylene-butylene)-styrene) (polySEBS), under mild conditions, is here reported as an alternative route for the conventional use of chlorosulfonic acid. This indirect sulfonation reaction is an effective route to insert sulfonic group...
