Abstract

The temperature glass behavior of epoxy deproteinized natural rubber/polymethylmethacrylate/lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (EDPNR/PMMA/LiCF3SO3) and the conductivity behavior of EDPNR in the ternary blends were studied by DSC and multichannel potentiostat. The DSC result revealed the temperature glass of the EDPNR was shifted to the right with the increase of lithium salt amount in these binary blends composition. However, in the ternary blends of EDPNR/PMMA/LiCF3SO3the temperature glass revealed the miscibility of these ternary blends. Two different temperature glass values were obtained when the ratio of EDPNR in EDPNR/PMMA was less than 80 wt.%. The ionic conductivity of EDPNR could be improved by increasing the amount of lithium salt up to 35 wt.%, after this amount the ionic conductivity of EDPNR was significantly decreased. While in the ternary blends, the highest ionic conductivity value was found at the ratio 80/20 of EDPNR/PMMA. Furthermore, the factors influencing the temperature glass and conductivity behavior of EDPNR were systematically studied in this work. The results demonstrated an intimate correlation between temperature glass and conductivity behavior of EDPNR.
