“…The simplest and the most widely-used method for the synthesis of sulfonated ACPs involves sulfonation of different classes of polymers, such as substituted poly-(1,4-phenylenes) [34,35], poly-(p-xylylene [36,37]), poly-(1,4-oxyphenylenes) [38][39][40][41][42][43][44], poly(ether ether ketones) (PEEK) [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59], polyarylene(ether sulfones) [3,[60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74], poly(phenylene sulfides) [75], polyphenylquinoxalines [76][77][78][79], polybenzimidazoles [80], polyperyleneimides [81] and some other ACPs. The chemical structures of sulfonated poly(4-phenoxybenzoyl-1,4-phenylene) (S-PPBP) (1), poly(p-xylylene) (S-PPX) (2), poly(phenylene sulfide) (S-PPS) (3)...…”
