AbstractOrgano-inorganic hybrid nancomposites derived from poly(ethylene oxide) and montmorillonite silicate are prepared by an alternative procedure to classical polymer intercalation either from solutions or by polymer melt-intercalation. XRD, FTIR, DSC, elemental microanalysis and SEM techniques are applied for structural characterization of the resulting materials. The electrical properties of these nanocomposites are studied by means of the electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) showing enhanced ionic conductivity compared to similar samples prepared by intercalation from solution.

Polymer blend of chitosan and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) electrolytes were prepared by employing solution cast method. Ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) was added to the blend to supply the charge carriers for ionic conduction. The impedance of the electrolytes was measured by electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) over the frequency range of 50 Hz to 1 MHz. The permittivity ɛr and electric modulus Mr of the complex were analyzed. Dispersion at low frequencies caused by space charge effect from the electrodes was observed. The modulus plots indicated that the dispersion deviated from the Debye behaviour. The relaxation time, τ decreased to 1.64 × 10-7 s as the NH4NO3 content was increased up to 40 wt.%.

In this study, we investigated a poly(ether-block-amide)-5513 (PEBAX-5513)/AgBF4/1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIMBF4) composite membrane, which is expected to have a high stabilizing effect on the Ag+ ions functioning as olefin carriers in the amide group. Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) only consists of ether regions, whereas the PEBAX-5513 copolymer contains both ether and amide regions. However, given the brittle nature of the amide, the penetration of BMIMBF4 remains challenging. The nanoparticles did not stabilize after their formation in the long-term test, thereby resulting in a poor performance compared to previous experiments using PEO as the polymer (selectivity 3; permeance 12.3 GPU). The properties of the functional groups in the polymers were assessed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis, which confirmed that the properties endowed during the production of the film using the ionic liquid can impact the performance.

ABSTRACTThe activation energies for poly(ethylene oxide) motion in a polymer clay composite are reported for the polymer intercalated and external to the clay. PEO intercalated into the clay is found to have a lower activation energy for motion but also a larger Arrhenius prefactor, by almost two orders of magnitude, than for PEO found external to the clay. Neutron scattering measurements confirm the presence of two environments and the effects of confinement on the mean square displacement of the PEO.
