Abstract

New series of fully aromatic poly(ether ketone)s with a biphenyl pendant groups were synthesised. A direct comparison of sulphonation reaction among monophenylated poly(ether ether ketone) (Ph‐PEEK), biphenylated poly(ether ether ketone) (BiPh‐PEEK) and PEEK (Victrex) was thoroughly investigated. Several advantages of the pendant‐phenyl poly(ether ketone)s compared with commercial PEEK were identified, including ready control over the site of sulphonation and degree of sulphonation (DS), and mild and rapid sulphonation. The basic membrane physical properties comprising of thermal and mechanical properties, dimensional stability and proton conductivity were studied. One new membrane, sulphonated biphenylated poly(ether ether ketone) (BiPh‐SPEEKDK) having a good combination of membrane properties was fabricated into a membrane electrode assembly (MEA), and it showed excellent direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) performance.

## Abstract The sulphonated phenol novolac (PNBS) which was used as a curing agent of epoxy was synthesised from phenol novolac (PN) and 1, 4‐butane sultone and confirmed by FTIR and ^1^H NMR. The degree of sulphonation (DS) in PNBS was calculated by ^1^H NMR. The semi‐IPN membranes composed of sul

## Abstract The sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) / polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composite membranes were produced to aid the swelling properties. The PTFE porous films were used as reinforcing material for the SPEEK/PTFE composite membranes. Scanning electron micrographs showed that SP
