Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgjjgzss30" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />A simple amphiphilic compound, pyrenesulfonic acid (PSA), interacts with the hydrophobic moiety of a copolymer (sulfonated poly(styrene-<italic>b</italic>-isoprene-<italic>b</italic>-styrene), s-SISH) and simultaneously provides hydrophiles of –SO₃H. Doping 2% PSA to the membranes of s-SISH enhances its very low conductivity by 26 times from 2.0 × 10⁻³ S cm⁻¹ to 5.3 × 10⁻² S cm⁻¹.</p> </abstract>
