Structural, Thermal, and Electrical Properties of PVA‐Sodium Salicylate Solid Composite Polymer Electrolyte

Abstract

Structural, thermal, and electrical properties of solid composite polymer electrolytes based on poly (vinyl alcohol) complexed with sodium salicylate were studied. The polymer electrolytes at different weight percent ratios were prepared by solution casting technique. The changes in the structures of the electrolytes were characterized by XRD, which revealed the amorphous domains of the polymer which increased with increase of sodium salicylate concentration. The complexion of the polymer electrolytes were confirmed by FTIR studies. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to study the thermal stability of the polymer below 523 K. The decomposition decreases with increasing sodium salicylate concentration. The conductivity and dielectric properties were measured using an impedance analyzer in frequency range of 20 Hz to 1 MHz and narrow temperature range of 303 to 343 K. The conductivity increased with increase of sodium salicylate concentration and temperature. The dielectric constant and dielectric loss increased with the increase in temperature and decreased with the increase in sodium salicylate concentration.

Sulfanilamide and silver nanoparticles-loaded polyvinyl alcohol-chitosan composite electrospun nanofibers: Synthesis and evaluation on synergism in wound healing

“…The broad diffraction peak near 20 (degree 2u) represents the semi crystalline nature of the PVA polymer and the crystalline peaks responsible for sulfanilamide were not observed in the XRD which depicts that the drug was distribute finely into the polymer in amorphous form (as it is present in low % while compared to polymers used). A similar type loss in crystalline behavior of drug also reported by Ahed et al, where they studied with sodium salicylate PVA composite [45]. Same was further supported by the DSC traces (Supplementary Fig.…”

Rice flour-based nanostructures via a water-based system: transformation from powder to electrospun nanofibers under hydrogen-bonding induced viscosity, crystallinity and improved mechanical property

“…They could be ascribed to evaporation of latent moisture, degradation of side chain (O-H) and the cleavage of C-C backbone of PVA, respectively. 32 As expected, rice our/PVA blend nanobers also possessed three-step mass losses at temperature ranges of 81-93 C, 305-310 C and 431-440 C. The rst loss was due to the evaporation of native moisture. The second loss could be from decomposition of PVA's side chain and of glucose units from starch molecule due mainly to broken intra-and intermolecular hydrogen bonds between PVA and starch.…”

Structural, thermal, electrical, and dielectric properties of synthesized nanocomposite solid polymer electrolytes

“…TGA plot shows three different weight loss regions in the temperature range varying from 40 C to 500 C which are described as follows: (a) The change in the first region is due to the evaporation of physically weak and chemically strong bound H 2 O with the polymer matrix and weight loss is very slow; (b) the second weight loss region is due to the degradation of side chain (O-H) of PVA and weight loss increases; and (c) the third weight loss region is due to the cleavage of C-C backbone of PVA polymer, commonly called carbonation. 15 The Der. TGA plots report about multistep weight loss in the sample.…”
