Times Cited Count：44 Percentile：75.10(Polymer Science)This study concerns a comparative study of three crosslinkers, divinylbenzene (DVB), 1,2-bis(p,p-vinylphenyl)ethane (BVPE) and triallyl cyanurate (TAC) crosslinked poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE)-based radiation-grafted membranes, which were prepared by radiation grafting of p-methylstyrene (MeSt) onto ETFE films and subsequent sulfonation. The effect of the different types and contents of the crosslinkers on the grafting and sulfonation, and the properties such as water uptake, proton conductivity and thermal/chemical stability of the resulting polymer electrolyte membranes was investigated in detail. Introducing crosslink structure into the radiation-grafted membranes leads to a decrease in proton conductivity due to the decrease in water uptake. The thermal stability of the crosslinked radiation-grafted membranes is also somewhat lower than that of the noncrosslinked one. However, the crosslinked radiation-grafted membranes show significantly higher chemical stability characterized in the 3% H
O at 50
C. Among the three crosslinkers, the DVB shows a most pronounced efficiency on the crosslinking of the radiation-grafted membranes, while the TAC has no significant influence; the BVPE is a mild and effective crosslinker, showing the moderate influence between the DVB and TAC crosslinkers.

New polymer electrolyte membranes having sulfonic acid groups for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell applications were prepared by simultaneous radiation-induced grafting method. The poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) films, crosslinked by electron-beam radiation at molten temperature, were used as substrates for grafting of two alkyl vinyl ether monomers, propyl vinyl ether (nPVE) and isopropyl vinyl ether (iPVE), under controlled grafting conditions followed by sulfonation reactions. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), water contact angle and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) were used to characterize the crosslinked PTFE (cPTFE) and grafted cPTFE films. The degree of grafting was found to be dependent on the grafting parameters such as irradiation temperature and Lewis acid catalyst, in which in the presence of Lewis acid catalyst or at a temperature close to the boiling point of each monomer, the grafting reaction significantly accelerated even when the relatively low dose was irradiated. Finally, the grafted cPTFE films were sulfonated in a chlorosulfonic acid solution. In spite of the lower ion-exchange capacity (0.75 mmol/g), the membrane synthesized in this study showed a proton conductivity as high as the Nafion 112.

The effect of the solution concentration on the crosslinking of CMS, the properties of formed hydrogel and the biodegradability were investigated. The crosslinking of CMS was induced by irradiation at concentration range from 20 to 50 %. 1 g of the dry gel formed from the solution at concentration of 40 % crosslinked at dose of 2 kGy was able to absorb about 500 and 26 g of distilled water and 0.9 % NaCl, respectively. Biodegradation of crosslinked CMS (irradiated in 50 % solution at a dose of 5 kGy) by controlled composting was about 40 % after 2 weeks which was faster than standard cellulose powder. The contribution of crosslinking in CMS was elucidated from crosslinking behaviors of carboxymethyl amylopectin (CMAP) and carboxymethyl amylose (CMA). The crosslinked CMAP (irradiated at a concentration range from 10 to 50 %) reveal higher gel fraction and water-uptake than that of CMA. The amylopectin region in CMS is predominantly responsible for crosslinking of CMS.
