Polymer-electrolyte complexes

Smid et al. Polysiloxane-Based Polymer-Electrolyte Complexes... 

Polymer electrolyte complexes of PM MS or PAGS with LiC104 were made by solution casting from methanol or THF. In some cases, PEO with a number-average molecular weight (M ) of 4 X 10 was added to enhance the toughness of the films. The polymer-electrolyte mixtures were dried under vacuum at 60 °C for several days. 

Thermal and Conducting Properties of Polymer-LiC104 Mixtures. Plots of the conductivity, a, of homogeneous, transparent mixtures of LiCl04 PMMS-8 and PAGS-12 exhibit distinct maxima at ratios of ethylene oxide units to lithium (EO/Li of 20-25 (Figure 2). This behavior is typical for amorphous polymer electrolyte complexes (7, 8). An increase...
