Abstract
A homogeneous cation-exchange membrane made of one or more fluorinated polymer having cation-exchangeable groups is swollen with a water miscible organic solvent and then the solvent is removed from the swollen membrane. The fluorinated polymer having cation-exchangeable groups has special characteristics to the water-miscible organic solvent because the cation-exchangeable groups have high affinity to the water-miscible organic solvent though the base of the fluorinated polymer may have water-and oil-repellent properties, whereby the cation-exchange membrane of the fluorinated polymer having cation-exchangeable groups is modified to reduce the permeability of hydroxyl group ions by swelling it and removing the water-miscible organic solvent.
