Abstract

The water-insoluble, thermostable and homogeneous polymer complex membrane formation of polysulfonic acids was examined by modifying the preparation conditions of the layer-by-layer adsorption method of the acid and base polymers. The complexation of poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid) in the 0.15 unit mM solution with poly(allylamine) gave a polymer complex membrane on a gold substrate in which one polymer layer was formed with a thickness of l nm. Properties including the proton conductivity of the membrane suggested possible applications of the polymer complex membrane.
