Abstract
A polymeric matrix to which ionizable groups are covalently bound swells and imbibes water when immersed in an aqueous solution. Dissociation of the ionizable groups leaves charges bound to the matrix and counterions free in the absorbed water. When prepared in membrane form such polymeric matrixes are called ion exchange membranes. They can convey high flux densities of the counterions, either under an applied electric field or in exchange for ions of another type, with the same charge sign, from an external source. Co-ions, of charge opposite to the counterions, are excluded from the membrane, thus giving it selective transport properties.
