The ion conducting polymer composite specimen has been prepared by using Polyvinyl-pyrrolidone (PVP) and Potassium hydroxide (KOH) using double distilled water as the solvent. The solution cast techniques was used to prepare the specimens. The main objective of the project is to study structural and mechanical properties of the polymer composite specimen. The conductivity and micro structure analysis has been carried out. The results revealed conductivity and hardness of the polymer composite increased with concentration of the KOH salt
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
