Crosslinked poly(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) has been prepared by polymerizing 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate(HEMA) with crosslinkers such as ehyleng glycol dime- thacrylate(EGDMA), tetraethylene glycol dimethacrylate(TEGDMA), tetraethylene glycol diacrylate(TEGDA), divinyl benzene(DVB), and N, N-methylenebisacry- lamide(MAB) in the presence of initiator $\alpha$ , $\alpha$ -azobisisobutyronitrile at 60。C, The synthesized copolymers were identified by FT-lR spectrophotomether. The swelling properties of the crosslinked copolymers in various solvents such as water, methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, and n-butanol were investigated at different temperatures. The thermal properties of the crosslinked coplymers were also measured by differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and thermogravimetry(TG)

The gel polymer electrolyte was prepared by radical polymerization using tetra(ethylene glycol) diacrylate and tri(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate to investigate affect of the number of ethylene oxide. The gel polymer electrolyte showed good electrochemical stability up to 4.5 V vs. Li/Li and high ionic conductivity at various temperatures. The lithium-ion polymer batteries with the gel polymer electrolyte, tetra(ethylene glycol) diacrylate- and tri(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate-based, also represented good electrochemical performances such as rate capability, low-temperature performances and cycleability. However, the cell with tri(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate, which has three ethylene oxide, showed better electrochemical performance.
