The film was characterized by impedance spectroscopy to measure its ionic conductivity. Samples with 45% of BMITFSI exhibit the highest conductivity of (3.98 � 2.84) x 10-4 Scm-1 at ambient. Dielectric data were analyzed by using complex permittivity and complex electrical modulus for the sample with highest conductivity. Dielectric data proves that the increase in conductivity is mainly due to the increase in number of charge carriers. � 2015 SPIE.en-USBMITFSIChitosanConductivityMethylcellulosePolymer electrolyteChitosanElectric conductivityElectrolytesPolymersBMITFSIComplex electrical modulusComplex permittivityImpedance spectroscopyMethylcellulosePolymer electrolyteSolution-casting techniqueWeight percentagesPolyelectrolytesConference Paper966896681JPSISD
