Abstract

In the present study, Ag+-ion conducting polyethylene oxide–polymethyl methacrylate based polymer blend electrolyte systems plasticized using different plasticizers, i.e., ethylene carbonate and polyethylene glycol, are reported. The polymer films were synthesized using the solution cast technique and characterized by differential scanning calorimetry technique. Electrical properties of polymer films were investigated by impedance spectroscopy in the frequency range of 2 MHz–10 Hz at temperature range from 303 to 373 K. Discussion of electrical properties of polymer films in the terms of conductivity and relaxation times is made.
