Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to the manufacture of anion selective membranes in a "one-step" process by co-polymerization of a crosslinking methacrylate ester and a methacrylic ester containing a quaternary ammonium group. The anion selective membranes are obtained directly with no further processing needed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
58 words
A method of preparing a cross-linked substantially insoluble anion exchange polymer comprising reacting a mixture of a non-polymerizable water soluble polar solvent, a polyol methacrylate ester monomer containing at least two vinyl groups with a methacrylate ester monomer containing a quaternary ammonium salt group said reaction occuring by heating the mixture in the presence of a polymerization initiator.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
58 words
A method of preparing a cross-linked substantially insoluble anion exchange polymer comprising reacting a mixture of a non-polymerizable water soluble polar solvent, a polyol methacrylate ester monomer containing at least two vinyl groups with a methacrylate ester monomer containing a quaternary ammonium salt group said reaction occuring by heating the mixture in the presence of a polymerization initiator.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
