The long-term stability of sulfonic acid-containing polyimides has been investigated. The hydrolytic degradation of homopolyimide and the block copolyimide comprising $27\;mol\%$ of 2,2'-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzidine and $9\;mol\%$ of m-phenylenediamine (BTFMB27mPl0[7/(3+1)]), was quantified through viscosity measurements and FT-IR spectroscopic analyses. The viscosity decrease with respect to time and the degradation rate were similar. The degrees of degradation with respect to time under ambient conditions and at elevated temperature in water were monitored by FT-IR spectroscopy. A new absorption peak was observed at $1786\;cm^{-1},$ which we corresponds to the presence of anhydride end groups formed by hydrolytic scission of the imide rings.

Several copolyimides have been synthesized with different combinations of comonomers in order to study the relationship between conductivity and water insolubility. m-Phenylenediamine (m-PDA), an angled comonomer, was introduced into the polymer backbone to increase water absorption, and resulted in higher proton conductivity. 2,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzidine (TFMB) was used as the comonomer to promote water insolubility. There is a good correlation between the water uptake and conductivity of the polyimides. The copolyimides that had high water uptake also generated high proton conductivity. Those polyimides had good mechanical properties. The copolyimides that have 27 mol% of TFMB and 9 mol% of m-PDA have reasonable conductivities and are insoluble in water at 90$^{\circ}C$, even though they have lower conductivities than those of the homopolymer.

Generally, The protone exchange membrane (PEM) contains cationic exchange groups such as SO3$\^$-/ group. The poly(styrene sulfonic acid) (PSSA) and its copolymers are widely studied because of easily synthetic method and higher conductivities. However, PSSA is not used individually because of poor physical properties such as brittleness and relatively lower Tg. So some researchers are concerned engineering plastics (EP) such as polyimides, polysulfone, polyketones, and poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (MPPO) etc. (omitted)

설폰화된 6FDA 계열의 폴리이미드의 설폰간기에 1가 이온($Li^+$, $Na^+$, $K^+$)과 2가 이온($Mg^{2+}$, $Ca^{2+}$, $Ba^{2+}$)이 치환되어졌으며, 이러한 금속이온의 치환효과가 $CO_2$, $O_2$ 및 $N_2$등의 기체 투과도와 선택도에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 설폰화된 폴리이미드의 열적 안정성이 금속이온을 치환함으로써 향상된 것을 열중량기 분석을 통하여 확인되었다. 1가 이온으로 치환된 막의 투과도는 이온반경 [$Li^+$(0.059 nm)>$Na^+$(0.102 nm)>$K^+$(0.138 nm)]의 순서로 감소하며, 2가 이온의 경우 이온반경과 고분자와 금속이온 간의 전기적 가교로 인하여 결정되어짐을 알 수 있었다. 반면에, 금속이온으로 치환된 설폰화된 폴리이미드 막의 선택도는 치환되지 않은 막에 비하여 향상된 것을 알 수 있었다. $K^+$이온으로 치환된 설폰화된 폴리이미드 막의 산소 투과도는 89.98 Barred[$1\times10^{-10}\;cm^3$(STP) $cm/cm^2{\cdot}s{\cdot}cmHg$]을 나타내어 원래의 폴리이미드 막의 산소 투과도인 126.5 Barrer 보다 현저히 줄었으며, $Li^+$으로 치환된 막의 $O_2/N_2$선택도는 12.9를 나타내어 원래의 4.2보다 크게 향상되어졌다.
