Vinyl polymers Electrolytes, electrolyte solutions The objective of this study is to investigate the characteristics of PEMA based proton conducting polymer electrolytes as a free standing film and its performance in electrochemical cell application. A new material of proton conducting polymer electrolyte was introduced using PEMA, NH4CF3SO3 and BMATFSI ionic liquid as the host polymer, doping salt and additive, respectively. In this study, all electrolyte films obtained by solution casting technique were transparent and sticky. Structural, morphological, thermal and electrical properties of all films were investigated by DSC,SEM, and IS respectively.

The highest conductivity achieved is in the order of 10'4 S cm'1 for the film added with 35 wt % BMATFSI. The film had high amorphicity and low glass transition temperature of 2 °C which is the factor of improvement in segmental motion of the host polymer. The temperature dependence of the ionic conductivity of the polymer electrolyte system obeyed the VTF relation. The /ion number in the polymer film is 0.82, showed that the conductivity in the film was predominantly due to ions. The film is electrochemically stable up to 1.8 V. The discharge performance of the batteries showed that the film has potential for application in protonic electrochemical cells. 2014 Thesis NonPeerReviewed text en http://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/14227/1/TM_NORWATI%20KHAIRUL%20ANUAR%20AS%2014_5.pdf Khairul Anuar, Norwati (2014) Proton conducting polymer electrolytes based on poly-ethyl methacrylate : preparation, characterization and application / Norwati Khairul Anuar.
