■Title
Effects of Alkyl Side Chain Length on the Structural Organization and Proton Conductivity of Sulfonated Polyimide Thin Films

■Abstract
From the systematic control of the alkyl side chain length in alkyl sulfonated polyimides, linear expansion of the organized lamellar distance was revealed at a fixed water uptake amount. Moreover, an optimal side chain length to achieve high proton conductivity as well as chemical/water stability was unveiled.
