Effect of Plasticizers on the Properties of New Ambient Temperature Solid Polymer Electrolytes

Abstract

The effect of different plasticizers on the conductivities and physical/chemical properties of radiation polymerized polyethers formed by cross-linking mixtures of acrylate oligomers and dissolved salts have been studied. The plasticizers used were propylene carbonate, ethylene carbonate and a mixture of ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate. The conductivities of all the compositions studied were in the range of 10-3 to 10-4 S/cm. In this paper, the relationship of the conductivities to the physical, chemical, and electrochemical properties of these materials is discussed.
