The present invention is directed to a gel polymer electrolyte for use in
rechargeable polymer secondary batteries and a precursor composition
thereof. The precursor composition can be injected into an aluminum shell
of a battery cell, which undergoes in-situ heating polymerization by
heating and forms a gel polymer electrolyte penetrating a partition
membrane therein. The precursor composition contains (meth)acrylic
(acrylate) monomers and a modified bismaleimide oligomer resulting from a
reaction of barbituric acid and bismaleimide.
