In order to improve its solubility, acyl modification of chitosan was carried out in the present study. Films of hexanoyl chitosan-based polymer electrolyte were prepared by solution casting technique. Lithium perchlorate (LiC104) was used as the doping salt while titanium oxide (Ti02) was used as the inorganic filler. In the present study, the plasticized hexanoyl chitosan-based polymer electrolyte was prepared by employing dimethyl carbonate (DMC) as the plasticizing solvent.

With addition of 30 wt.% LiC104, the conductivity of hexanoyl chitosan-based polymer electrolyte was enhanced from 2.37 x 10' 13 to 1.85 x 10"5 S cm'1. For composite polymer electrolyte system, the highest ionic conductivity was achieved at 3.06 x 10~4 S cm"1 with incorporation of 6 wt.% TiC>2. The highest ionic conductivity value of 4.09 x 10"4 S cm' 1 was obtained with addition of 15 wt.% DMC to hexanoyl chitosan-LiCKVTiC^ electrolyte system. The conductivity increased is due to the increase in the number of free ions and their mobility while the decrease in conductivity is attributed to the ion association which decreases the number of charge carriers available for ionic conduction. Conductivity of hexanoyl chitosan-based polymer electrolytes was also studied as a function of temperature ranging from 283 to 333 K. the conductivity is found to increase with increasing temperature.

The temperature dependence of the power law exponent s for the salted hexanoyl chitosan follows the Overlapping Large Polaron Tunneling (OLPT) model while the conduction mechanism for composited hexanoyl chitosan-based polymer electrolyte systems are interpreted based on the Correlated Barrier Hopping (CBH) model. 2010 Thesis NonPeerReviewed text en http://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/15522/1/TM_FADIATUL%20HASINAH%20MOHAMMAD%20AS%2010_5.PDF Muhammad, Fadiatul Hasinah (2010) Structural and electrical properties of hexanoyl chitosan-based polymer electrolyte / Fadiatul Hasinah Muhammad.
