## Abstract The publication deals with the sulfonation of aromatic polysulfones that results in ionomers intended to be used as membranes for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells. The mechanical properties and the lifespan of the membranes depend, in particular, on the mode of synthesis of the ionom
The direct sulfonation of a poly-[(1-(4,4 -diphenylether)-5-oxybenzimidazole)-benzimidazole] (PBI-OO) in solution is described. The sulfonation is carried out directly in sulfuric acid under mild reaction conditions. In PBI-OO, the presence of electron donor ether bridges confers particular properti
