Triallyl isocyanurate (TAIC) and a macromonomer of ethylene oxide- propylene oxide (MEP) were used as a cross-linking agent. The resulting membranes were characterized in terms of thermal and mechanical properties. Ionic conductivities were determined in a molar solution of tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate (TEABF4) in acetonitrile (AN) and propylene carbonate (PC). Excellent mechanical properties (250 MPa at 25 °C) and conductivities (14 mS cm−1) were obtained for the cross-linked separator prepared with TAIC.en541journal article
