Abstract:
Calcium ion conducting polymer blend electrolyte films based on PVA/PVP complexed with CaCl2 have been prepared by solution casting technique. The structural changes of the polymer blends have been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. XRD and FT-IR studies confirmed the complex formation of polymer blends. Electrical conductivity was calculated with impedance analyzer within the frequency range 42 Hz-1 MHz and in the temperature range 303 K-340 K. The higher electrical conductivity value of 1.704 × 10-4 Scm-1 was observed for 50PVA:50PVP:15 wt% CaCl2 concentration at room temperature. The magnitude of electrical conductivity was increased with the increase in the salt concentration as well as temperature. The electrical permittivity of the polymer films have been studied for various temperatures.

Dehydration Synthesis
Dehydration synthesis (also called a condensation reaction) is the chemical process in which two molecules covalently link together to form a new molecule, along with the release of a water molecule. Many physiologically important compounds form by dehydration synthesis reactions, such as complex carbohydrates, proteins, DNA, and RNA.
