Thin films of epoxidized-30% poly (methyl methacrylate)-grafted natural rubber (EMG30) doped with lithium triflate (LiTf) salt were prepared by using the solution-casting technique. Transformation of carbon double bond (C=C) into epoxide group (C-O-C) in EMG30 polymer host was confirmed by 1HNMR analysis. The ionic conductivity measurement was carried out and the highest conductivity was found to be at 5.843×10-3 S cm room temperature for the sample with composition at 60wt% EMG30: 40wt% LiTf. Thermal gravimetric analysis studies showed that upon the addition of lithium salts into EMG30 was increased the thermal stability of the polymer electrolyte systems.

In this study, a freestanding thin film composed of lithium triflate (LiTf) salt (30-40 wt.%) and epoxidized-30% poly (methyl methacrylate)-grafted natural rubber (EMG30) (50, 54.6, 62.3 mol %) were prepared by a solvent cast technique. The EMG30 were found to increase the ionic conductivity of EMG30-LiTf by one order of magnitude compared to MG30-LiTf. The highest ionic conductivity achieved was 5.584 x10-3Scm-1at room temperature when 40 wt.% of LiTf salts were introduced into 62.3 mol % EMG30. The ionic conduction mechanisms in EMG30-LiTf electrolytes obey Arrhenius rule in which the ion transport in these materials is thermally assisted.

Mobility and number density of charge carriers are important parameters that influence the electrolyte conductivity. Therefore, knowing these parameters quantitatively is of great significance. In this work, solid polymer electrolytes have been prepared by solution casting technique using gellan gum complexes with lithium triflate (LiTf). The conductivity of the electrolyte increases from 3.35 × 10−8 S cm−1 (electrolyte with 10 wt% LiTf) to 5.38 × 10−4 S cm−1 (electrolyte with 40 wt% LiTf). The increase in conductivity was attributed to the increase in mobility and number density of charge carriers in the electrolyte from 6.63 × 10−9 cm2 V−1 s−1 to 1.25 × 10−6 cm2 V−1 s−1 and from 4.00 × 1020 cm−3 to 2.68 × 1021 cm−3, respectively. The electrolyte conductivity is seen to decrease as LiTf salts were added more than 40 wt% concentration due to the decrease of charge carrier mobility to 8.58 × 10−7 cm2 V−1 s−1. The variation of conductivity obtained in this work is dominantly influenced by the mobility of charge carriers in the electrolyte as proven from the Fourier transform infrared approach.

The effect of plasticizer on dielectric properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/titanium dioxide (TiO2) composites was investigated. Propylene carbonate (PC) was used as plasticizer in the samples which were prepared with the conventional solvent casting technique. Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (SEM-EDX) and Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses and LCR Meter measurements (performed between 300 K and 400 K), were conducted to examine the properties of the composites. With the addition of plasticizer, the thermal properties have changed and the dielectric constant of the composite has increased significantly. The glass transition temperature of pure PMMA measured 121.7°C and this value did not change significantly with the addition of TiO2, however, 112°C was measured in the sample with the addition 4 ml of PC. While the dielectric constant of pure PMMA was 3.64, the ε′ value increased to 5.66 with the addition of TiO2 and reached 12.6 with the addition of 4 ml PC. These changes have been attributed to increase in amorphous ratio that facilitates polymer dipolar and segmental mobility.
