Abstract

Electrolytic cell ion-exchange membranes, comprising fluoropolymers having pendant sulfonic acid functional groups and/or carboxylic acid functional groups, are treated with primary, secondary, and/or tertiary amines to provide dimensional stability and other improvements to the membranes. The treatment with amines provides easily-disassociable amines salts which are leached out by an aqueous leachant, e.g., cell electrolyte, thereby providing sulfonic acid groups and/or carboxylic acid groups to function as ion exchange sites in the membrane during subsequent cell operation.
