Plasticizers can be used to change the electrical and mechanical properties of polymer electrolytes by reducing the degree of crystallinity and lowering the glass transition temperature. The transport properties of gel type ionic conducting membranes consisting of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), poly (vinylidene fluriode) (PVdF), Lithium perchlorate (LiClO4) and dioctyl phthalate (DOP), dibutyl phthalate (DBP), dimethyl phthalate (DMP) or diethyl phthalate (DEP) were studied. The polymer films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Thermal, Fourier transform infrared and impedance spectroscopic studies. It is found that the addition of DMP as the plasticizer in the PMMA / PVdF-LiClO4 polymer complex favours an enhancement in ionic conductivity. The temperature dependence of the conductivity of the polymer films seems to obey the VTF relation. The conductivity values are presented and the results are discussed.
