AbstractThe structure of polyethylene oxide doped with lithium perchlorate was studied. The macroscopic structure of the polymer-salt complexes was studied by thermal analysis and xray diffraction. The microscopic structure and polymer dynamics were studied by infrared, Raman and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Thermal analysis and x-ray diffraction studies clearly revealed the change of crystalline phase to an amorphous phase by the addition of salt. The vibrational analysis showed a conformational transformation of the polymer chain by the addition of salt. Vibrational analysis also showed clearly the formation of free ion, ion-pair and salt cluster in the polymer as the concentration of the salt increased.

ABSTRACTBlending the biopolymer chitosan (CHI) with poly (aminopropilsiloxane) oligomers (pAPS), and poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) in the presence of lithium perchlorate lead to ion conducting products whose conductivity depends on the composition of the mixture. A ternary phase diagram for mixtures containing 0.2 M LiClO4 shows a zone in which the physical properties of the products - transparent, flexible, mechanically robust films - indicate a high degree of molecular compatibilization of the components. Comparison of these films with binary CHI-pAPS nanocomposites as well as the microscopic aspect, thermal behavior, and X-ray diffraction pattern of the product with the composition PEO/CHI/pAPS/LiClO4 1:0.5:0.6:0.2 molar ratio indicates that these films may be described as a layered nanocomposite. In this composite, lithium species coordinated by PEO and pAPS should be inserted into chitosan layers. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements indicate the films are pure ionic conductors with a maximal bulk conductivity of 1.7*10-5 Scm-1 at 40 °C and a sample-electrode interface capacitance of about 1.2*10-9 F.
