The formation of polymer-salt complexes has been confirmed by XRD analysis. Morphological and thermal studies have been performed using SEM and DMA analyses. A comparative look between PEMA and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) electrolytes has showed that PEMA electrolytes exhibited better electrochemical performances than PMMA electrolytes, despites its lower conductivity. ? 2011 Springer-Verlag.DMAElectrochemical stabilityIonic conductivityPEMAPMMAjournal article10.1007/s11581-011-0629-02-s2.0-84857640637https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84857640637&doi=10.1007%2fs11581-011-0629-0&partnerID=40&md5=fca76edb9b88594781979f6e07132d26
