Preparation of radiation-grafted polymer electrolyte membranes; Effect of pre-irradiation atmosphere

Septiani, U.; Chen, J.; Asano, Masaharu; Maekawa, Yasunari; Kubota, Hitoshi*; Yoshida, Masaru

Both the effect of pre-irradiation atmosphere, argon and air, on the radiation grafting of styrene into poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE) films and the durability of the relevant ETFE-based polymer electrolyte membranes (PEM) were investigated. It was found that the ETFE-based PEM prepared under air showed a very low durability compared with that under argon. This is due to the introduced unstable ether bond between the grafted chain and backbone film.
