Abstract: Ion exchange membranes adapted for use in organic solvents. The membranes include a substrate providing microporosity and a polyelectrolyte supported thereby and comprised of Na, K, or Li salts of linear polymers having attached functional groups. The disclosure pertains further to organic electric cells which employ the membranes as cell separators. Other features of the invention appear in the specification.
