• We have demonstrated the first ever hybrid polymer film of an insoluble polymer with an acid (top picture). All other materials of this type are powdered ceramics.
• On polymerization these two immiscible substances become miscible. This behavior is very rare and very rarely demonstrated by experiment.
• The resulting films are transparent (bottom picture) and exhibit impressive proton conductivity (bottom right graph).
• The films are also amorphous. A + B
