A series of novel anion exchange membranes (AEMs) were prepared by constructing semi?interpenetrating polymer networks (sIPN) based on imidazole functional brominated polyphenyl ether (ImF?BPPO) and quaternary ammonium polyvinyl alcohol (QPVA). The effects of different contents of QPVA on the comprehensive properties of the composite membranes were systematically studied, the structure of the series composite membranes was analyzed by 1H?NMR and FT?IR, and the morphology of composite membrane was investigated by SEM, and the ion exchange capacity, water uptake and conductivity and other properties of the composite membranes were tested. The results show that the prepared series of composite membranes have good compatibility and no obvious phase separation phenomenon. When the mass fraction of QPVA was 40%, the water uptake and swelling rate of the composite membrane were 58.2% and 24.6%, respectively. At 80 ℃, the conductivity of the composite membrane reached 67.24 mS/cm. After soaking in 6 mol/L KOH alkaline solution for 168 h, about 90% of the initial conductivity was still retained, indicating that the membrane had good conductivity and alkali resistance stability.
