Abstract: Nafion membranes were first used in the chlor-alkali industry for electrodialysis process that was modified by chemical polymerization of aniline using ammonium peroxodisulfate as the oxidant. Their transport properties were evaluated by conductivity and electrodialysis measurements and were extensively characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), infrared (FTIR-ATR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and ion exchange capacity measurements.
