Thin film composite membranes were prepared by coating a thin layer of sulfonated poly ( 1,4dimethyl-2,6-phenylene oxide) polymer on the surface of a polysulfone ultrafiltration membrane. The membrane performance was studied when the sulfonate was either in the hydrogen form or loaded fully with an

β¦ Synopsis
The reverse osmosis performance of thin-film composite membranes prepared from sulfonated polyphenylene oxide polymer with different ion-exchange capacities was studied using various electrolyte solutes. The effect of the solvent used for the preparation of the polymer solution for surface coating was also studied. It was found that the preparation of thin-film composite membranes with high selectivities and high fluxes was possible by adjusting properly the ion-exchange capacity and the solvent. It was also found that the membrane performance was governed primarily by the ion-exchange reaction between the solute cation and the proton in SO,H and the Donnan equilibrium.

## Abstract A series of anion exchange membranes with pyridinium groups were prepared by aminating 100% bromomethylated poly(2,6βdimethylβ1,4βphenylene oxide) with 4βvinylpyridine. These membranes exhibited higher ion exchange capacity, lower water uptake, lower area resistance, and better thermal
