N2 - Hybrid membranes based on composites of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and low-hydroxylated fullerenol C60(OH)12 have been assembled. In this study, two different procedures for PVA membrane cross-linking were applied including a thermal treatment, with elevated temperatures (140 oC 100 min) and chemical treatment with the addition of 35% maleic acid to the polymer matrix and thermal treatment (110 oC 120 min). The structure of the membranes were examined by wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Thermal properties and stability were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found that fullerenol, being an effective cross-linker for PVA, prevented the crystallization of the polymer during annealing, resulting in the increase of membrane permeability for chemically cross-linked membranes. Transport properties of hybrid membranes containing up to 5 wt% fullerenol were studied by the pervaporation of (1) chemical equilibriu
