The preparation and characterization of a polymer electrolyte films containing 80 wt % of poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) and 20 wt % epoxidized natural rubber (ENR50) complexed with LiCF 3 SO 3 has been reported. The ac impedance data showed good conducting properties of the solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) films. The greatest room temperature ionic conductivity of 7.5 × 10 −5 S cm −1 was obtained at 25 wt % of LiCF 3 SO 3 salt. This result has been supported by differential scanning calorimeter and X‐ray diffraction analysis. Analysis differential scanning calorimetry showed the relative percentage of crystallinity and T m of PEO decreased with the increasing wt % of LiCF 3 SO 3 . Analysis with X‐ray diffraction suggested that the semicrystalline nature of PEO turned to amorphous due to the presence of LiCF 3 SO 3 . © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009
