| abstract |
The present invention relates to a proton-conducting polymer membrane which is based on polyvinylsulphonic acid and is obtainable by a process comprising the steps A) mixing of a polymer with vinyl-containing sulphonic acid, B) formation of a flat structure using the mixture from step A) on a support, C) polymerization of the vinylsulphonic acid present in the flat structure from step B). Owing to its excellent chemical and thermal properties, a membrane according to the invention can be used in a wide variety of applications and is particularly useful as polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) in PEM fuel cells. |
