Abstract
Stable bipolar membranes of high permselectivity and low potential drop are prepared using either an anion or cation preformed first layer upon which a second layer or coating of an ion exchange resin of the opposite charge carried in a matrix polymer is applied. The second layer may be suitably applied such as by casting as a slurry of the ion exchange resin in a solution or by laminating a layer comprising a dispersion of the resin in a solid or fused polymer. Optionally, the surface of the first layer may be treated to increase the resin concentration and/or bonding at the interface, such as by sanding, etching, etc.
