Patent 11236196 was granted and assigned to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute on February, 2022 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Embodiments of the invention relate to a novel class of polymers with superior mechanical properties and chemical stability, as compared to known polymers. These polymers are particularly well suited for use in anion exchange membranes (AEMs), including those employed in fuel cells. Novel methods for the manufacture of these polymers are also described.
