The structure and some physico-chemical properties of radiation grafted FEP-g-polystyrenesulfonic acid proton exchange membranes were studied as a function of the degree of grafting. The distribution of grafted polymer across the membrane thickness was obtained from microprobe measurements. It was found that for low levels of grafting (ca. 3%), polystyrene chains are located near the membrane surface only, and the interior of the membrane remains ungrafted. With the increasing degree of grafting, polystyrene chains were incorporated into the interior of the membrane as well. An almost homogeneous distribution of grafts in the membrane was obtained at a graft level of > 13%. The influence of the degree of grafting on membrane properties, such as ion exchange capacity, swelling, and specific resistivity was studied. Three different states of water, viz., freezing free, freezing bound, and nonfreezing water have been identified in noncrosslinked membranes. However, the nature and the amount of crosslinker had a profound influence on the states of water in a membrane.
