Electron-beam graft-modified membranes with externally controlled flux

Pre-irradiation grafting as a means to modify commerical poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes has been studied. The membranes prepared were weak cation-exchange membranes (acrylic acid functionality), anion-exchange membranes (trimethyl ammonium functionality) and temperature-sensitive membranes (N-isopropyl amide functionality). Different graft loads were obtained by varying reaction time, radiation dose and in the case of acrylic acid the graft solution composition. The trimethyl ammonium chloride functionality was obtained by grafting vinyl benzyl chloride onto a PVDF membrane and aminating the benzyl chloride groups in a 45% trimethyl amine–water solution. For a membrane grafted with 9 wt% acrylic acid the flux increased approximately 70 times when the pH was decreased from 6 to 2. For a membrane with 5 wt% trimethyl ammonium functionality the flux increased both when pH was decreased below 3 and increased above 11. For a membrane grafted with 18 wt% N-isopropyl acrylamide a sharp increase of flux was observed when the temperature was raised above 32°C.     

Radiation synthesis of acrylic acid onto poly(tetraflouroethylene-perflourovinyl ether) film: Chemical modifications and electrical conductivity

Graft-polymerization of acrylic acid (AAc) monomer onto poly(tetraflouroethylene-perflouro vinyl ether) (PFA) copolymer film was carried out using gamma irradiation technique to synthesize grafted copolymer film PFA-g-PAAc (PFA-COOH). The effect of the dose on the degree of grafting of AAc onto PFA film was investigated. The results showed that the degree of grafting increases with increasing the irradiation dose. The grafted [PFA-COOH] film was chemically modified by reaction with aniline to produce modified [PFA-CO-NH-ph] film, followed by sulphonation reaction to introduce sulfonic acid (SO₃H) groups to get other modified [PFA-CO-NH-ph-SO₃H] film. The chemical structures of the grafted and modified films were identified by FT-IR, XRD, and SEM. It is of particular interest to measure the electrical conductivity of grafted and modified membranes as a function of degree of grafting. It was found that the conductivity of the grafted films increases with increasing the degree of grafting, however a slightly increase in conductivity was observed in [PFA-CO-NH-ph-SO₃H] sample. The electrical conductivity property of the modified PFA membranes suggests their possible use for fuel cell applications.     

Synthesis and characterization of SPE membrane based on sulfonated FEP‐g‐acrylic acid by radiation induced graft copolymerization for PEM fuel cell

A Novel solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) membrane containing both ? COOH and ? SO₃H group has been prepared by simultaneous method of radiation grafting of acrylic acid onto FEP followed by sulfonation. The presence of weakly acidic acrylic acid controls the swelling in water while ? SO₃H group provides conductivity due to its strongly ionic characteristic. FEP‐g‐acrylic acid and its sulfonated derivatives were characterized by their properties. While the mechanical properties decreased, other properties such as ion exchange capacity (IEC), water uptake and ionic conductivity increased with increase in graft content. These properties further changed on sulfonation. Acrylic acid being weakly acidic in nature, conductivity values of the grafted membrane were quite low. However, introduction of strong ? SO₃H group resulted in conductivity closer to Nafion 117. Few sulfonated membranes have been tested with respect to H₂/O₂ fuel cell performance. Short‐term fuel cell test for 100 hr gave a stable performance. These membranes are less expensive compared to Nafion. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

PSSA pore-filled PVDF membranes by simultaneous electron beam irradiation: Preparation and transport characteristics of protons and methanol

Polystyrene sulfonic acid (PSSA) pore-filled poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes have been prepared using simultaneous electron irradiation method. Porous PVDF films were grafted by pre-swelling in styrene solution and subsequent irradiation with an electron beam (EB) under nitrogen atmosphere and at ambient temperature. The grafted films i.e. polystyrene (PS) pore-filled PVDF were subsequently sulfonated with a diluted mixture of chlorosufonic acid. The effects of the reaction parameters on the content of PS grafted in the pores of PVDF films were investigated. The chemical and morphological properties of the membranes in comparison with their un-grafted and grafted counterparts were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The transport properties of these membranes such as ionic conductivity and methanol permeability were evaluated and correlated with the content of PS grafted in the pores of the PVDF films. The PSSA pore-filled PVDF membranes with PS content in the pores of 40% and above showed superior performance characteristics compared to Nafion 117 membrane and therefore can be potential alternatives to improve the performance of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC).     

PVDF Hollow fiber Membrane with High Flux and High Rejection Ratio Prepared by Irradiation Induced Grafting of PAA

Summary: A modified poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) hollow fiber membrane with higher flux and flux recovery rate was prepared by γ-radiation induced grafting of acrylic acid (AA). The influence of radiation dose and monomer concentration on the grafting degree was investigated. The results indicated that the grafting degree increased in the lower monomer volume fraction until the monomer volume fraction exceeded 20%. The grafting degree increased with the increase of radiation dose. Structural and morphological of the original and grafted membrane surface were characterized by FT-IR, scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that acrylic acid was grafted onto PVDF hollow fiber membrane and the grafted membrane was more hydrophilic than original PVDF. There was a slight increase of breaking strength and yield stress with the increase of the grafting degree of AA. The pure water flux increased initially but decreased subsequently with the raise of grafting degree. When the grafting degree was 4.4%, the maximum pure water flux reached 1496.3 L/m² × h, 1.79 times of original membrane. The pure water flux, flux recovery rate and rejection ratio for bovine serum albumin could improve simultaneously in a low grafting degree (<4.4%).     

Characterization and evaluation of commercial poly (vinylidene fluoride)‐g‐sulfonatedPolystyrene as proton exchange membrane

The possibility of developing low‐cost commercial grafted and sulfonated Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF‐g‐PSSA) membranes as proton exchange membranes for fuel cell applications have been investigated. PVDF‐g‐PSSA membranes were systematically prepared and examined with the focus of understanding how the polymer microstructure (degree of grafting and sulfonation, ion‐exchange capacity, etc) affects their methanol permeability, water uptake, and proton conductivity. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to characterize the changes of the membrane's microstructure after grafting and sulfonation. The results showed that the PVDF‐g‐PSSA membranes exhibited good thermal stability and lower methanol permeability. The proton conductivity of PVDF‐g‐PSSA membranes was also measured by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy method. It was found that the proton conductivity of PVDF‐g‐PSSA membranes depends on the degree of sulfonation. All the sulfonated membranes show high proton conductivity at 92°C, in the range of 27 to 235 mScm⁻¹, which is much higher than that of Nafion212 (102 mScm⁻¹ at 80°C). The results indicated that the PVDF‐g‐PSSA membranes are particularly promising membranes to be used as polymer electrolyte membranes due to their excellent stability, low methanol permeability, and high proton conductivity.     

Phase separation and crystallinity in proton conducting membranes of styrene grafted and sulfonated poly(vinylidene fluoride)

A series of proton exchange membranes have been prepared by the preirradiation grafting method. Styrene was grafted onto a matrix of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) after electron beam irradiation. Part of the samples was crosslinked with divinylbenzene (DVB) or bis(vinylphenyl)ethane (BVPE). Subsequent sulfonation gave membranes grafted with poly(styrene sulfonic acid) and marked PVDF‐g‐PSSA. It was found that the intrinsic crystallinity of the matrix decreased in both the grafting and the sulfonation reaction in all the membranes. The graft penetration and the ion conductivity are influenced strongly by the crosslinker. The ion conductivity is considerably lower in crosslinked membranes than in noncrosslinked ones. Generally, the mechanical strength decreases with crosslinking. The membranes show a regular phase separated structure in which the sulfonated grafts are incorporated in the amorphous parts of the matrix polymer. The phase separated domains are small, of the order of magnitude of 100–250 nm. These were resolved on transmission electron micrographs and on atomic force images but could not be resolved with microprobe Raman spectroscopy. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
