Curable Compositions and Membranes

摘要

A curable composition comprising:
(i) 2.5 to 50 wt % crosslinker comprising at least two acrylamide groups;(ii) 20 to 65 wt % curable ionic compound comprising an ethylenically unsaturated group and an anionic group;(iii) 15 to 45 wt % solvent; and(iv) 0 to 10 wt % of free radical initiator;wherein the molar ratio of (i):(ii) is 0.1 to 1.5.;The compositions are useful for preparing ion exchange membranes.
