Abstract: An anion transport membrane is provided, which is based on a linear polymer electrolyte with anion-exchange groups that mechanically reinforced by a covalently cross-linked network. The linear polymer electrolyte is partially or fully miscible with the second covalently cross-linked network. In another example, an anion transport membrane is provided, which is based on a linear quaternary ammonium polysulfone membrane backbone mechanically reinforced by a chemically-crosslinked network of poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene), whereby the reinforcing network has covalent divinylbenzene cross-links.
