A series of semi-interpenetrating polymer network (sIPN) composite anion exchange membranes were fabricated depending on immobilized linear PVDF and cross-linked polyepichlorohydrin (PECH), 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, (DABCO) network through in situ synthetic pathway. A cyclic diamine (DABCO) was used as cross-linking agent and simultaneously improved the ion-exchange capacity by amination. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) indicated that the composite membranes exhibited a dense and homogeneous structure. Successful formation of PECH-DABCO copolymer within the sIPN membranes was also confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The PVDF percentage and inherent properties of membranes such as ion exchange capacity (IEC), water uptake (WR), thermal stability, mechanical property, and area resistance were investigated to evaluate their applicability in electrodialysis (ED). The experimental results showed that the composite membrane maintained a good perspective for ED application.
