N. Binesh et Sv. Bhat, Effects of a plasticizer on protonic conductivity of polymer electrolyte (PEG)(100)NH4ClO4, SOL ST ION, 122(1-4), 1999, pp. 291-299
We report on the effect of addition of low molecular weight (M-w, = 400) PE
G on protonic conduction of the solid polymer electrolyte (PEG)(100)NH4ClO4
. We study the changes in the temperature dependence of conductivity as a f
unction of the amount of the added plasticizer. NMR lineshape studies indic
ate a reduction in the relative fraction of crystalline regions on addition
of the plasticizer. We show that the plasticizer reduces both the T-g, and
crystallinity of the samples, thus increasing the conductivity. (C) 1999 E
