This invention relates to a silane-resin composition that can be obtained
by at least partial hydrolytic condensation of at least the following
components: (1) one or more sulfonic acid group-containing silane(s) with
at least one group that can be cleaved under hydrolytic conditions, (2)
one or more styryl-functionalized silane(s) and (3) one or more silane(s)
that carry a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound, an amine group or
a sulfonamide group with at least one group that can be cleaved under
hydrolytic conditions, and mixing of the components before, during or
after the hydrolytic condensation, as well as a process for the
production of this composition. With the silane resin that is obtained,
proton-conductive, organically cross-linked heteropolysiloxanes can be
produced that are suitable for PEMFC in a layer or membrane form as
proton-conductive systems. Their proton conductivity can be further
increased by the addition of suitable liquids.
