Positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS) measurements were performed on polymer electrolyte membranes (PEMs) synthesized by radiation-induced graft polymerization of styrene into crosslinked-polytetrafluoroethylene (cPTFE) films and subsequent sulfonation. The base cPTFE and polystyrene grafted films were also measured as references. The cPTFE based PEM was found to have free-volume holes with different radius of 0.28-0.30 nm and 0.44-0.45 nm. The larger holes may be located in PTFE amorphous regions, while the smaller ones are considered to exist in both PTFE crystallites and poly(styrene sulfonic acid) grafts containing no water.
