Membrane a,b,c Molar ratio of GA to membrane [mmol mmol-1] Degree of cross-linking QPVA [%]
HTCC/QPVA-a 0.20/2.2 9.1
HTCC/QPVA-b 0.30/2.2 13.7
HTCC/QPVA-c 0.45/2.2 20.4
HTCC/QPVA-d 0.60/2.2 27.4
HTCC/QPVA-e 0.90/2.2 41.1
HTCC/QPVA-f 1.10/2.2 50.3
aAll membranes were prepared using a same kind of HTCC and QPVA, the degree of quaternization (DQ) was 90.4% and 9.0%, respectively, determined by elemental analysis.
bThe molar ratio of EGDGE to composite membrane  was 0.3/2.2 mmol mmol-1, having a degree of crosslinking (DC) of 13.1%.
cThe thickness of membranes was 45 nm, +/- 3 nm dry state.
