Polydivinylbenzene‐4‐vinyl‐ N ‐methylpyridinium iodide (MeVP + ‐DVBI − ) membranes are obtained by solvent evaporation from dispersions of copolymer powder in polysulfone dichloroethane solutions. The membranes' macroporosity increases from 2.5 to 46.4% and the pore size distribution concentrates in the 10 3 –10 5 Å range upon varying the concentration of polypyridinium polymer from 0 to 67% w/w. Similarly, the specific conductivity increases from 10 −11 to 10 −4 ohm −1 cm −1 and the mechanical strength decreases from 500 to 8.8 kg/cm 2 . The ion selectivity is maximum at 40–50% MeVP + ‐DVBI − and lower above or below this concentration range. The properties are discussed in relation to the membrane chemical and physical parameters.
