Abstract

Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) have been employed to study the thermal stability of the chitosan acetate-based polymer electrolyte films. The glass transition temperature, Tg measurements confirm the conductivity enhancement effect by adding the plasticizer and salt in the chitosan acetate films
