Figure 22.4 Temperature dependence of the ionic conductivity for a series of PEO/salt hybrids. The number of ethylene oxide repeating unit is 23 for (b) - (d), and 12 for (a), (b) - (d) has salt units on both a, and m chain ends, while the a chain end of (a) is capped by methoxy group.

Interestingly, molecules with 22 to 34 ethylene oxide repeating units exhibit a hexagonal columnar... 

The composition of polyaniline (emeraldine base) is shown in Fig. 12, and consists of alternating reduced and oxidized repeating units. Polyaniline can be switched back and forth from its insulating state to the conducting state by doping with HCl... 

Jet/VUV mass spectra of poly(ethylene oxide) samples. A Liqui-Nox laboratory detergent. B Reference sample with nominal Mp = 1000 A fragment series in spectrum B is labeled with asterisks. The number, n, of ethylene oxide repeat units is given for some peaks (in parentheses for fragment series). 

The polymers are fairly high in molecular weight, approximately 100 times greater than the products from KOH initiations. Propylene oxide initially reacts with ferric chloride to form an oligomer, a chloropolyalkoxide. The material contains approximately four or five propylene oxide repeat units. This forms two different halogen sites. It can be illustrated as follows ... 

Measurements of water uptake made at several temperatures over the range 276 to 333 K are instructive about the nature of the interactions determining the sorption levels. The results are summarized in Table II as the ratio of moles of water to moles of the ethylene oxide repeat unit. In almost...

Apart from the nse of a polymerizable alkoxysilane, silica/polystyrene composite particles with a raspberry-like morphology have been elaborated in the presence of a methyl methacrylate-terminated polyethylene glycol macromonomer. This macromonomer is mainly hydrophilic due to the presence of ethylene oxide repeat units (n 23), which are able to form hydrogen bonds with the silanol groups of silica and adsorb on its snrface. In addition, this molecnle contains a methacrylate functionality able to copoljmerize with styrene thus... 

As depicted in Fig. 2.7, PANI is found under a variety of forms differing in chemical and physical properties [41]. The structure consists of reduced (benzenoid diamine) and oxidized (quinoid diamine) repeated units. The form under which it is commercially available and stable under ambient conditions is Emeraldine Base (EB), possessing equal amounts of reduced and oxidized repeating units. The conductivity of this form is rather poor, but it can be easily converted into a more conductive form by lowering the pH of the solution to obtain the relevant fully protonated structure, namely Emeraldine Salt (ES). Eor this reason, PANI shows significant conduction in acidic solutions, namely below pH 2.5-3.0. 

When studying polymers, an effective method of reducing unspecific interactions (i.e., tip contamination) is by passivating the bare tip surface by using several ethylene oxide repeats linked to the tip via short alkanes. 

As-made PANI consists of the reduced repeat units [-C6H4-NH-C6H4-NH-] and the protonated oxidized repeat units [-C6H4-N=C6H4=N H-].C1 or [C6H4-N+H=C6H4=N+H-].2Cr.
