  • Education

    • Poznan University of Technology

      2009 - 2014
      Ph.D. Polymer chemistry

      Ph.D. thesis: "Ionic liquid - based photocurable solid polymer electrolytes".In the research work, attempts were made to apply ionic liquids as electrolytes in solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs). The SPEs were prepared by the in situ photopolymerization technique, which enables the curing of monomer – ionic liquid mixture at room temperature, in several minutes. The compositions used for the SPEs preparation contained: monomers - dimethacrylates and diacrylates of ethoxylated bisphenol A… Show more Ph.D. thesis: "Ionic liquid - based photocurable solid polymer electrolytes".In the research work, attempts were made to apply ionic liquids as electrolytes in solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs). The SPEs were prepared by the in situ photopolymerization technique, which enables the curing of monomer – ionic liquid mixture at room temperature, in several minutes. The compositions used for the SPEs preparation contained: monomers - dimethacrylates and diacrylates of ethoxylated bisphenol A and F with different numbers of oxyethylene groups; ionic liquids - various imidazolium salts. Used measuring techniques: electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry. Show less
