Abstract

The electrical properties of poly(vinyl alcohol) complexed with phosphoric acid have been studied. It is found that the conductivity increases with the concentration of the acid, and also increases with time if the sample is exposed to the air, which is interpreted in terms of glass transition temperature. A.C. impedance measurement and polarization experiment show that this proton-conducting polymer is a promising candidate for electrochromic display. It is also found that some plasticizers, such as glycerol and ethylene-glycol are effective for improving its conductivity.
