A report on the syntheses, thermal, mechanical and dielectric characterizations of two novel polymeric acrylic materials with azide groups in their pendant structures is presented. Having the same general structure, these polymers differ in length of oxyethylene units in the pendant chain [-CONH-CH2CH2-(O-CH2CH2)nN3], where n is 1 (poly(N-(2-(2-azidoethoxy)ethyl)methacrylamide), PAzMa1) or 2 (poly(N-2-(2-(2-azidoethoxy)ethoxy)ethyl)methacrylamide), PAzMa2), leading with changes in their dynamics. As the thermal decomposition of the azide group is observed above 100 °C, dielectric analysis was carried out in the temperature range of −120 °C to 100 °C. Dielectric spectra of both polymers exhibit in the glassy state two relaxations labelled in increasing order of temperature as γ- and β-processes, respectively. At high temperatures and low frequencies, the spectra are dominated by ohmic conductivity and interfacial polarization effects. Both, dipolar and conductive processes were characterized by using different models. Comparison of the dielectric activity obtained for PAzMa1 and PAzMa2 with those reported for crosslinked poly(2-ethoxyethylmethacrylate) (CEOEMA) was performed. The analysis of the length of oxyethylene pendant chain and the effect of the methacrylate or methacrylamide nature on the dynamic mobility was analysed.

Na ß“-alumina (Na1.67Mg67Al10.33O17) is a non-stoichiometric sodium aluminate which exhibits fast ionic conduction of the Na+ ions in two dimensions. The Na+ ions can be exchanged with a variety of mono-, di-, and trivalent cations. The resulting exchanged materials also show high ionic conductivities.Considerable interest in the Na+-Nd3+-ß“-aluminas has been generated as a result of the recent observation of lasing in the pulsed and cw modes. A recent TEM investigation on a 100% exchanged Nd ß“-alumina sample found evidence for the intergrowth of two different structure types. Microdiffraction revealed an ordered phase coexisting with an apparently disordered phase, in which the cations are completely randomized in two dimensions. If an order-disorder transition is present then the cooling rates would be expected to affect the microstructures of these materials which may in turn affect the optical properties. The purpose of this work was to investigate the affect of thermal treatments upon the micro-structural and optical properties of these materials.

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.
