Solid polymer electrolyte has been extensively studied as an alternative to liquid electrolyte which is often affected by several issues including leakage, deformation and limited range of operating temperature. Bio-based polymer derived from vegetable oil has been proposed to substitute petroleum-based polymer due to its fluctuations in price, non-renewable resources and non-environmentally friendly. A non-edible jatropha oil (JO), processed from seeds of Jatrophacurcas,has received much attention due to its high-quality bio-fuel. The present study was conducted in an attempt to synthesize polyurethane acrylate (PUA) as host polymer from JO and to evaluate polymer performance supplemented with Li salt and plasticizers as polymer electrolytes. In the study, bio-based polyol was synthesized by epoxidation and ring opening reactions. Toluene 2, 4-diisocyanate (TDI) was added to polyol followed by hydroxylethylmethylacrylate (HEMA) to produce PUA. Hexanedioldiacrylate (HDDA) was used as a cross-linkable active diluent and Darocur 1173 (D-1173) was used as photoinitiator in UV curable PUA films.
