Abstract

Copolymer consisted of MMA and tBMA was synthesized by radical polymerization and poly(MMA-co-MA) was prepared by selective hydrolysis of tert-butyl group. The obtained polymer was coupled with epoxy functionalized PEO of various molecular weight to synthesize poly(MMA-co-PEGMA) with different side chain length. The AC-impedance measurement shows $1.88{\times}10^{-6}Scm^{-1}$ of room temperature ionic conductivity from 48mol% of MMA while $5.11{\times}10^{-8}Scm^{-1}$ was observed in 82mol% sample. In addition, there was an effect of PEGMA molecular weight on ionic conductivity possibly due to the steric hindrance in grafting-onto coupling reaction. Finally, the polymer electrolytes shows electrochemical stability up to 6V at room temperature.

본 실험에서는 MMA와 tBMA의 공중합체를 합성하고, tert-butyl 그룹의 가수분해를 선택적으로 유도하여 poly(MMA-co-MA)를 제조하였다. 또한 말단에 에폭시기를 함유한 다양한 분자량의 PEO와 MA와의 grafting-onto 커플링 반응을 통해 같은 주사슬을 가지지만 부사슬의 길이가 다른 poly(MMA-co-PEGMA)를 합성하여 조성이 이온전도도에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. AC-impedance로 측정한 상온 이온전도도는 MMA의 몰분율이 82%에서 $5.11{\times}10^{-8}Scm^{-1}$의 값이 얻어진 반면, 48%에서는 $1.88{\times}10^{-6}Scm^{-1}$로서 많은 PEGMA에서 높게 관찰되었다. 또한 에폭시기를 함유한 PEO의 분자량에 따라 이온전도도의 차이가 발생하는데, grafting-onto 법의 입체적 장애가 원인으로 고려되었다. 한편, 합성된 poly(MMA-co-PEGMA) 고분자 전해질은 상온에서 6V까지 우수한 전기화학적 안정성을 보여주었다.
