The work aims at designing a novel class of cost-effective PEMs, keeping the fluorinated matrix and sulfonic acids in order to maintain the required chemical stability and the proton-bearing mechanism, while integrating powerful self-organizing assembling moiety in the polymer structure in order to position the channels in an orientated way during the membrane fabrication step. The present study constitutes a preliminarily investigation of self-organization of the ionomeric moiety: ICH2CH2CF2CF2OCF2CF2SO2OH.
