30% poly(methyl methacrylate) grafted natural rubber was treated with N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N’-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (6PPD) additive (TMG30) to retard its degradation before further used as electrolytes. The polymer electrolytes containing MG30-6PPD-LiTF were prepared by solution cast technique. X-ray diffraction studies show the electrolytes with the highest salt content are amorphous in nature. The TMG30-salt complexes were confirmed by using Fourier transformation infrared analysis. The highest ionic conductivity of the TMG30 polymer electrolytes containing 40 wt.% LiTF was found to be 1.5 x 10-2 S/cm at room temperature. Transference number studies show that the sample with highest ionic conductivity exhibits the charge transport species in this TMG30 polymer electrolyte film is predominantly due to ions. © 2018, Malaysian Society of Analytical Sciences.
