Problems solved by technology

[0004] A membrane-electrode assembly having a catalyst layer containing the polymer of (1) has excellent power generation characteristics, but since the polymer of (1) has a high water content, flooding is likely to occur under high humidification conditions, and the power generation characteristics are likely to deteriorate
[0005] In addition, since the solid polymer electrolyte membrane containing the polymer of (1) has a high water content, the dimensional change when swollen is large compared with the size of the dry state.
Therefore, in the case of repeated swelling and drying, the solid polymer electrolyte membrane may be broken

example 1

[0266] 22.47 g of compound (mb2-1), 5.10 g of compound (ma1-1), 21.10 g of compound (s-1) as a solvent, and a compound as a radical polymerization initiator were charged into a stainless steel autoclave with an inner volume of 125 mL. (i-1) 14.7 mg was fully degassed under cooling with liquid nitrogen. After the temperature was raised to 40° C., TFE was introduced, and the pressure was set at 0.40 MPaG, and the supply was continuously performed while maintaining a constant temperature and pressure. When 0.16 g of TFE was supplied, a mixture of 0.96 g of compound (mb2-1) and 1.0 g of compound (ma1-1) was supplied from a supply line cooled with dry ice. Moreover, when supplying this mixture, the supply line was cleaned using 0.5 g of compound (s-1). The supply of this mixture was performed 12 times in total. The feeding interval of this mixture is about 30 minutes. Since the supply amount of TFE reached the prescribed amount, the autoclave was cooled after 6.5 hours to termin...
