Study of Styrene Effect on Non-radiation Grafting of Vinyl Benzyl Chloride on to Polyethylene-Based Anion Exchange Membrane

  • 1594 Accesses

Part of the The Minerals, Metals & Materials Series book series (MMMS)

Abstract

A non-radiation polyethylene-based anion exchange membrane (AEM) was synthesized by chemically grafting 4-vinylbenzyl chloride (VBC) onto it. The resulting AME with a 10% styrene addition has peak IEC value, 57% higher than the non-styrene AEM. Water uptake and mechanical properties were slightly enhanced with the presence of styrene. The addition of styrene improves the compatibility between VBC and low-density polyethylene due to the formation of compatibilizer of poly(styrene-co-VBC). These were evidenced by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, [1] H NMR, and Field Emission-SEM.
