Abstract

Proton conductive copolymers of 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyl acrylate (PFDA) and methacrylic acid (MAA) have been synthesized by initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD). Detailed insights into the copolymers' molecular organization were gained through an X-ray-based investigation to serve as a starting point for systematic studies on the relation among proton conductivity and polymer structure. The method of copolymerization, iCVD, facilitated the tuning of the ratio between acidic
