Membranea,b,c Molar ratio of EDGE to membrane [mmol mmol-1] Degree of cross-linking HTCC [%]
HTCC/QPVA-1 0.20/2.2 8.8
HTCC/QPVA-2 0.30/2.2 13.1
HTCC/QPVA-3 0.43/2.2 19.7
HTCC/QPVA-4 0.60/2.2 26.3
HTCC/QPVA-5 0.90/2.2 39.4
HTCC/QPVA-6 1.10/2.2 49.5
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 GA to composite membrane was 0.3/2.2 mmol mmol-1,  having a degree of crosslinking (DC) of 13.7%.
cThe thickness of membranes was 35 nm, +/- 4 nm  dry state.
