✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Novel side‐chain‐type sulfonated poly(arylene ether) with pendant sulfoalkyl group copolymers (PSA‐SPAE‐6F) have been synthesized by direct copolymerization from a new sulfonated monomer, sodium 3‐(4‐(2,6‐difluorobenzoyl)phenyl)propane‐1‐sulfonate. The sulfonate content could be easily controlled by adjusting the sulfonated and the unsulfonated monomer feed ratio. The obtained copolymers all show good thermal and mechanical properties. It should be noted that the most highly sulfonated copolymer, PSA‐SPAE‐6F90 with an ion exchange capacity of 1.30 mequiv · g^−1^, shows a proton conductivity of 0.11 S · cm^−1^ and a water swelling ratio of only 12.9% at 100 °C, which indicates its high proton conductivity and excellent dimensional stability in hot water.

## Abstract Sulfonated poly(aryl ether) (SPAE) and sulfonated poly(fluorenyl ether ketone) (SPFEK) are synthesized by post‐sulfonation and direct polymerization from the sulfonated monomer, respectively. Flexible and smooth proton exchange membranes (PEM) are readily obtained from both polymers, by
