Abstract

Electron beam radiation induced grafting of acrylic acid (AA) and sodium styrene sulfonate (SSS) onto high-density polyethylene (HDPE) membranes was investigated by the pre-irradiation method, and a cation-exchange membrane containing bifunctional groups was synthesized. The effects of grafting conditions such as monomer concentration, radiation dose and temperature on grafting yield were studied. The dependence of grafting yield on pre-irradiation dose and monomer concentration was found to be 0.54 and 2.21, respectively. The activation energy for the grafting was calculated to be 22.2 kJ/mol. Infrared spectroscopy analysis of the grafted membrane confirmed the existence of sulfonate and carboxylic acid groups.
