same time, those functionalized polymers have found applications as phase-transfer catalysts, antistatic agents, biocides, humidity sensors, and water ltration membranes [9]. Moreover, phosphonated compounds have been recently shown to possess an attractive combination of properties that motivates the investigation of phosphonated polymers for use as proton conductors under low-humidity conditions [10].
