ANION EXCHANGE MEMBRANES AND PROCESS FOR MAKING

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide for anion exchange membranes and processes for their manufacture. The anion exchange membranes described herein are made the polymerization product of at least one functional monomer comprising a tertiary amine which is reacted with a quaternizing agent in the polymerization process.

主权项

1. An anion exchange membrane for electrodialysis comprising a microporous membrane support having a porous first side and a porous second side and a continuous porous structure extending from said first side to said second side, and a crosslinked ion transferring polymer substantially completely filling said porous structure, said polymer formed in the porous structure and comprising;
the polymerization product of at least one functional monomer comprising a tertiary amine, at least one crosslinking monomer and at least one quaternizing agent, and at least one polymerization initiator.
