Fabrication and characterization of poly (ethylene oxide) for photo-electronic devices

Ionic conducting polymer thin films consist of poly (ethylene oxide)-chitosan blend, ammonium iodide NH4I and iodine crystal I2 were prepared by solution cast technique at room temperature. To improve the mechanical properties of the polymer thin film, chitosan (C6 H11 NO4) is added to the electro...
