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 comprising:
a microporous membrane support having a porous first side, a porous second side, and a continuous porous structure extending from the first side to the second side; and a crosslinked ion transferring polymer filling the continuous porous structure, the polymer formed in the continuous porous structure and comprising:
the polymerization product of a monomeric solution having at least one functional monomer comprising a tertiary amine, at least one crosslinking monomer, at least one quaternizing agent, and at least one polymerization initiator.
