Effect of Electron Beam Irradiation on the Mechanical and Electrochemical Properties of Plasticized Polymer Electrolytes Dispersed with Nanoparticles

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effect of electron beam irradiation on electrical, thermal, mechanical and morphological properties of plasticized polymer electrolytes was investigated. A significant improvement in the mechanical strength without reduction in ionic conductivity was observed for the irradiated polymer electrolytes. DSC studies showed that the thermal behavior of the polymer electrolytes was improved by the addition of filler and by irradiation. SEM studies revealed a significant improvement in surface morphology of the polymer electrolyte after irradiation. The results are presented herein.
