Abstract A series of sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone ketone)s derived from bisphenol S were prepared by nucleophilic polycondensation. They showed high thermal resistance and good solubility. Most of the polymers were easily cast into tough membranes. The swelling of the membranes (6.02–16.02%) was lower than that of Nafion membranes, and the ion‐exchange capacity of the membranes (0.67–1.44) was higher than that of Nafion membranes. The proton conductivity of the membranes was 0.022–0.125 s/cm. They could be used as proton‐exchange membranes in fuel cells. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 94: 1569–1574, 2004
