Yg. Zheng et al., EFFECTS OF COMPOSITION AND STRUCTURE ON THE IONIC-CONDUCTIVITY OF LATEX POLYMER ELECTROLYTE, Journal of materials chemistry (Print), 8(9), 1998, pp. 2061-2064
A series of poly(ethyl acrylate)/lithium salts were prepared. The ioni
c conductivity of latex films was compared with films prepared by solu
tion polymerisation. By changing the composition of the latex and the
lithium salt, we studied the influence of the latex surface compositio
n, particle size, the lithium salt and its concentration on the conduc
tivity of polymer electrolyte latex films. The results show that surfa
ce layer transport of ions plays an important role in increasing the i
onic conductivity of polymer electrolytes.
