0.5 wt.% of N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N’-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) was introduced into polymer electrolytes based on 30% poly(methyl-methacrylate) grafted natural rubber (MG30) in order to reduce the aging factor of MG30. The polymer electrolyte without 6PPD was used as control. All samples were prepared by using solution cast techniques. The effect of 6PPD in the electrolytes was analysed by using TGA, DSC and FTIR. TGA and DSC results revealed the thermal stability of MG30 electrolytes with 6PPD have higher thermal stability but lower glass transition temperature value. FTIR studies confirmed the existence of LiTF in the sample and prove the occurrence of polymer-salt complexation. Deconvolution techniques analysis on FTIR spectra shows the electrolyte sample with 6PPD display more ion dissociation which reflects to higher ionic conductivity.

AbstractThe starch/natural rubber composite was prepared by blending the modified starch by esterification with natural rubber latex. The modified starch particles are homogenously distributed throughout the natural rubber (NR) matrix. In comparison with the host NR, the thermal stability of composite is significantly improved. The thermal degradation temperatures (T) and reaction activation energy (E) of composite are higher than those of the pure NR. The hardness, stress at 500%, tensile strength, permanent deformation and tear strength of composite increase linearly with the increment of dosage of modified starch.
