An ion-exchange material, for example a polymer electrolyte membrane or gas diffusion electrode comprises a semi-crystalline copolymer comprising: a first unit which includes an ion-exchange site; a second crystalline unit; and a third unit which is amorphous. The third unit is used to disrupt the crystallinity of the copolymer thereby to increase its solubility in solvents. The material described may be used in fuel cells.

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 21, 2001 and granted November 12, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 21, 2021.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 21, 2023.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
