                      (St) cografted poly(ethylene-co-tetrafluoroethylene) anion
                      exchange membranes (VBA/St-AEM) were prepared by the
                      radiation-induced graft polymerization of
                      chloromethylstyrene and St and sequential quaternization and
                      anion exchange reactions. Increasing the St content in the
                      grafts to $63 \%$ resulted in a gradual $21 \%$ and
                      $34 \%$ decrease in the conductivity and water uptake,
                      respectively, compared to those in the VBA-homo-grafted AEM.
                      AEMs with a higher St content $(81 \%)$ showed a $9 \%$
                      and $18 \%$ higher conductivity and water uptake,
                      respectively. Small-angle neutron scattering showed that the
                      sudden growth of “water puddles” consisting of
                      water-rich nano-domains dispersed randomly in
                      phase-separated hydrophilic ion channels enhanced the
                      conductivity and water uptake. In the alkaline durability

                      for 720 h, the loss of the conductivity was suppressed
                      from $43 \%$ to $8 \%,$ when the St contents in the
                      grafts were increased from $0 \%$ to $63 \%.$},
