The present invention relates to a branched and sulphonated multi block
copolymer and an electrolyte membrane using the same, more precisely, a
branched and sulphonated multi block copolymer composed of the repeating
unit represented by formula 1 and a preparation method thereof, a
hydrogenated branched and sulphonated multi block copolymer, a branched
and sulphonated multi block copolymer electrolyte membrane and a fuel
cell to which the branched and sulphonated multi block copolymer
electrolyte membrane is applied. The electrolyte membrane of the present
invention has high proton conductivity and excellent mechanical
properties as well as chemical stability, so it can be effectively used
for the production of thin film without the decrease of membrane
properties according to the increase of sulfonic acid group since it
enables the regulation of the distribution, the location and the number
of sulfonic acid group in polymer backbone.
