In order to observe the effect of radiation crosslinking on the properties of cationic exchange membrane, the crosslinked SPS/TMPETA membranes were fabricated by solution casting of various composition of sulfonated polystyrene(SPS) prepared by sulfonation of polystyrene(PS) and trimethylolpropane ethoxylate triacrylate(TMPETA) crosslinker followed by an electron beam irradiation. The physicochemical properties of the membranes before and after radiation crosslinking were evaluated by measuring gel-fraction, ion exchange capacity, water-uptake and tensile strength. We confirmed that the introduction of radiation crosslinking in SPS membranes improved the water uptake, and tensile strength. The thermal properties of the prepared membranes were also observed using DSC and TMA.
