The Effect of Temperature on the Conductivity of Polymer Films

Abstract

INTRODUCTIONIn general, pure polymers are insulators having very low electrical conductivity at room temperature. Their structural, physical and chemical properties can be changed with addition of salts, blends and plasticizers to form polymer films (Abdullah, et all,2012., Hashim, et all, 2012. The reason for this is to increase their ionic conductivity at the ambient temperature. It has been recognized that the ionic conduction preferentially occurs in the amorphous phase where the charge carriers are trapped at localized sites. This allows the conduction of ions by hopping from one site to another site over a potential barrier between them. The present study attempts to investigate the effect of temperature on PVA-based Polymer films doped with chloral hydrate for their potential applications in electrochemical devices.

“…It is generally accepted in the literature, that the drift motion of charge carriers is related to the segmental dynamics in the rubbery state as a slave mechanism. [56][57][58] Moreover, the charge carriers are protons or ions related to impurities in the ppm scale. The protons are abstracted from the OH groups in presence of water molecules.…”
