Abstract
Polymerization reaction is performed using a polymerizable monomer shown by the following general formula (1) and at least one monomer selected from monomers each having a structure of a salt among a lithium salt, a sodium salt, a potassium salt, and a nitrogen compound salt of a fluorosulfonic acid or the like; then, the structure of the salt of the repeating unit of a polymer obtained by the polymerization reaction is changed to the fluorosulfonic acid or the like by ion exchange. Thus, the present invention provides a polymer compound for a conductive polymer and a method for producing the polymer compound which is suitably used as a dopant for a fuel cell and a conductive material, and which is a copolymer containing a repeating unit of styrene having a 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxy-2-trifluoromethylisobutyl ether group, and a repeating unit having any of a fluorosulfonic acid, a fluorosulfonimide group, and a n-carbonyl-fluoro-sulfonamide group.
