Proton conducting organo-inorganic polymers and materials

In the last three decades a considerable amount of work has been performed for the development of proton conducting poly(organosiloxanes) and poly(organophosphazenes) and of composite organo-inorganic materials to compete with perfluoroalkylsulfonic acid polymers (PFAPs). However, neither poly(organosiloxanes) nor poly(organophosphazenes) have been proven real competitors of the perfluorurated acid polymers. The current research strategy appears mostly focused on the development and optimization of composites containing PFAPs and inorganic oxides
