Preparation and characterization of MG30 with antioxidant additive as polymer electrolytes / Ahmad Fairoz Aziz

This work is focused on obtaining high conducting solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) based on treated 30% methyl grafted natural rubber (TMG30). MG30 is easily degraded and deteriorated due to the presence of unsaturated hydrocarbon (C=C) in the natural rubber backbone. 30% methyl grafted natural rub...
