| Abstract: | The thin film of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) has been widely studied as host in a polymer electrolyte system due to its good mechanical stability towards lithium electrode. However, the brittle property of this film creates additional resistance for the ionic conduction. The addition of ionic liquid (IL) has been noticed to improve the brittleness of the film. In addition, its ionic conductivity can also be enhanced, but no free standing film can be obtained when higher amount of IL was added. Therefore, in this study, 1-methyl-3-pentamethyldisiloxymethylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide,(SiOSi)C1C1im]NTf2], was incarcerated during free radical polymerization of MMA. Interestingly, this newly synthesized PMMA (PMMAIL) gives a flexible and transparent film with ionic conductivity of ～10?7 S/cm at room temperature. The structural properties of this PMMAIL were further investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and optical microscope (OM). |
