Studies on the Dielectric and Transport Properties of PEO/Chitosan Proton Conducting Polymer Electrolyte

1 Results The effect of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) content in 40 wt.% PEO and 60 wt.% chitosan blend has been analyzed in this study.The sample containing 40 wt.% NH4NO3 exhibited the highest room temperature conductivity.In order to ascertain that water does not influence the conductivity,the samples were dried in a dessicator and the conductivity determined daily until it shows a constant value.Results are as shown in Fig.1.Samples containing other salt concentrations were also kept in the dessicator f...
