A polymer electrolyte membrane or gas diffusion electrode includes an ionconducting polymeric material which includes moieties of formula (A) which are substituted on average with more than 1 and 3 or fewer groups (e.g. sulphonate groups) which provide ion-exchange sites and hydrogen atoms of said moieties are optionally substituted, wherein each X in said moieties of formula A independently represent an oxygen or sulphur atom. The ion conducting polymeric material is suitably prepared by controllably sulphonating a polymeric material using about 100% sulphuric acid at 34~C to 36~C.

Why it's free to use
- Filed April 1, 2004 and granted June 18, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended April 1, 2024.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by April 1, 2026.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
