Novel alkaline anion-exchange membranes composed of quaternized chitosan and poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) were prepared by a combined thermal and chemical cross-linking technique. The hydroxide conductivity (sigma), water uptake (WU), ion exchange capacity (IEC), thermal stability, mechanical property, alkaline stability of HTCC/PDDA-OH- membranes were measured to evaluate their applicability in alkaline fuel cells. FTIR, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were also used to investigate the relation between the inner structure and performance of the blend membranes. The HTCC/PDDA-OH- membranes show a high OH- conductivity up to 37.9 mS cm(-1) at 80 A degrees C (1:0.5 by mass). By cross-linking modification, the membranes exhibit excellent thermal stability with onset degradation temperature above 200 A degrees C and good alkaline resistance in 8M KOH solution at 80 A degrees C, decreasing slightly for hydroxide conductivity during 350 h. Meanwhile, the membranes show outstanding mechanical properties, the maximum tensile strength can reach 25.31 MPa and elongation at break is 6.58%.
