For establishing a safe and non-electric power type explosion prevention system with hydrogen storage materials, hydrogen permselective membranes against oxygen and water vapor have been developed. Using a radiation-induced grafting method, 4-trimethoxysilylstyrene (TMSS) and acrylic acid (AAc) monomers were introduced onto porous poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) films to obtain TMSS- and AAc-grafted PVDF membranes with grafting degrees of 29 and 24%. The TMSS- and AAc-grafted PVDF membranes showed permeabilities of hydrogen 3.5 and 12 time higher than those of water vapor. The above results indicated that radiation-grafting of porous films should be very effective method to obtain hydrogen permselective membranes.

This study concerns how irradiation conditions affected the ion-track grafting of styrene into a poly(ethylene--tetrafluoroethylene) base film. The grafting was performed by the pre-irradiation method using an isopropanol/water mixture as a medium. The grafting kinetics in terms of the initial polymerization rate (r), radical recombination rate () and delay time (t) was evaluated. The rate and the extent of grafting were found to be strongly dependent on the irradiation conditions. This means that the structure of the ion track would be one of the most important parameters determining the grafting kinetics.
