Suspension-phase neutralization of an acid-form sulfonated styrenic pentablock copolymer was used to prepare aluminum cross-linked polymer films. Aluminum neutralization was confirmed by 27Al solid state NMR, and the aluminum-neutralized polymer resisted ion exchange to the sodium counterion form when the polymer was soaked in 1 mol/L sodium chloride for 30 days. The effects of aluminum neutralization on polymer morphology, mechanical properties, water and salt transport properties, and free volume were explored. The primary spacing of the morphology, as measured by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), decreased upon neutralization of the sulfonated polymer. The hydrated aluminum-neutralized polymer was mechanically stronger than the non-neutralized polymer, but the dry aluminum-neutralized polymer was more brittle than the non-neutralized polymer. Neutralization of the polymer’s sulfonic acid functionality resulted in a 5.5-fold decrease in water uptake. This water uptake decrease upon aluminum neutraliz...
