摘要: Abstract We designed and synthesized a poly(ether imide) (PEI) membrane that has good chemical mechanical stabilities. Alkalized PEI (A-PEI) was fabricated by solution casting of chloromethylated (CM-PEI) followed quaternization alkalization. The structure the polymers verified proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Physiochemical properties such as ion exchange capacity, water uptake, swelling ratio were investigated. membranes with high degree chloromethylation (DC) exhibited elevated hydroxide conductivity in range 6.7–44.2 mS/cm at 90 °C under 100% relative humidity (RH). hydrophilic-hydrophobic phase separation atomic force microscope (AFM) small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) measurements. Chemical stability evaluated measuring durability while they soaked oxidative alkaline solutions 60 °C for 200 h.
