A comparative study of side-chain-type poly(ether ether ketone) anion exchange membrane functionalized with different hetero-cycloaliphatic quaternary ammonium groups.

ABSTRACT: Anion exchange membranes based on side-chain-type quarternized poly(ether ether ketone)s (QPEEKs), containing different hetero-cycloaliphatic quaternary ammonium groups, were prepared via a multi-step procedure, including polycondensation with a monomer containing pendant methylphenyl groups, bromomethylation, and followed by quaternization with 1-methylpyrrolidine (MPY), 1-methylpiperidine (MPRD), 1-methylimidazole (MIDZ) and N-methyl morpholine (MMPH), respectively. The properties of these membranes were then compared with the properties of conventional quarternized poly(ether ether ketone)s containing benzyltrimethylammonium (QPEEK-TMA). Model compounds, QMPY, QMPRD, QMIDZ and QMMPH, were synthesized and used to quantitatively compare the alkaline stability of hetero-cyclo
