The stability of polymer exchange membranes for fuel cells is critical, due to their exposure to both oxidative and reductive environments. Presented are the properties of polymer exchange membranes prepared from irradiation introduced graft polymerization onto poly(tetrafluorethylene‐co‐hexafluorpropylene) (FEP) and poly(tetrafluorethyne‐alt‐ethylene) films (ETFE) followed by suphonation.
