Copolymers containing pendant ionomeric carbosilane groups
Cationic polymers are provided that comprise monomeric units of Formula (V). (V) Each asterisk (*) indicates an attachment position to another monomeric unit; R is hydrogen or methyl; each R 2 is each independently an alkyl, aryl, or a combination thereof; L is a linking group comprising an alkylene group; and +R 3</sup? is a cationic nitrogen-containing group free of any NāH bonds. Membranes formed from said cationic polymers, devices including such membranes, and methods of making such cationic polymers are also provided.
