The polymer electrolyte composite, for driving an electrolytic capacitor, according
to the present invention is a composite body comprising an electrolyte and an acrylic
polymer containing a copolymer of acrylic derivative. The electrolyte comprises
a polar solvent and a solute comprising at least one of inorganic acids, organic
acids and salts of such acids. The copolymer of acrylic derivative is a polymer
of: a first monomer of at least one of a group of monofunctional monomers of acrylic
derivatives each having at least one hydroxyl group at a terminal thereof and a
polymerizable unsaturated double bond; and a second monomer of at least one of
a group of multifunctional monomers of acrylic derivatives each having plural polymerizable
unsaturated double bonds.
The polymer electrolyte composite has a high ionic conductivity at room temperature
together with a high heat resistance, and does not react with electrode foils such
as aluminum, and moreover is superior in the easiness of manufacturing and long
life. The present invention also provides an electrolytic capacitor using the polymer
electrolyte composite.
