Electrical and Structural Properties of PEMA‐Based Plasticized Polymer Electrolyte

Abstract

To resolve the challenges that portable devices confront, polymer electrolytes should be developed. Polymer electrolytes have a number of advantages, including nonflammability, low cost, high stability, no leakage, and a long lifespan. In the present research work, PEMA host polymer with potassium iodide salt enclosure is used with ethylene carbonate (EC) plasticizer to enhance mechanical strength and ionic conductivity. The PEMA+40% wt Kl sample conductivity is measured by complex impedance spectroscopy technique and the maximum conductivity obtained is 3.80×10 −6 S cm -1 at room temperature. When EC is added into the solution, there is an increase in conductivity, and the maximum conductivity measured is 4.65×10 −5 S cm -1 with sample PEMA+40% wt KI+ %60 wt EC. The prepared electrolyte structural changes and complex formation are subjected to FTIR and XRD characterization techniques. The pore nature of the synthesized polymer electrolyte is investigated using surface electron microscopy.

Poly (Ethyl Methacrylate) (PEMA) and its Composites for Various Applications: Background, Recent Progress, and Future challenges

“…PEMA composites can be used to manufacture wind turbine blades and other components, as well as solar panels and support structures, due to their high strength and stiffness. [18] Marine: PEMA composites have excellent resistance to corrosion and water absorption, making them a potential candidate for marine applications. They could be used to manufacture boat hulls, decks, and other components, which would reduce weight and improve durability.…”
