In order to design more effective solid polymer electrolytes, it is important to decouple ion conductivity from polymer segmental motion. To that end, novel polymers based on oxanorbornene dicarboximide monomers with varying lengths of oligomeric ethylene oxide side chains have been synthesized using ring opening metathesis polymerization. These unique polymers have a fairly rigid and bulky backbone...
Complex crystal induced gelation of poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA) solutions was studied for a series of solvents, including N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). By cooling the solutions prepared at elevated temperatures, PLLA gels were produced in solvents that induced complex crystals (ε-crystals) with PLLA. Fibrous structure of PLLA in the gel with DMF was observed by polarizing optical microscopy, field emission...
Replacing traditional liquid electrolytes by polymers will significantly improve electrical energy storage technologies. Despite significant advantages for applications in electrochemical devices, the use of solid polymer electrolytes is strongly limited by their poor ionic conductivity. The classical theory predicts that the ionic transport is dictated by the segmental motion of the polymer matrix...
A self-complementary heteroditopic molecule composed of thymine and diamidopyridine end groups and a flexible aliphatic interconnecting chain has been synthesized. The glassy dynamics of this hydrogen-bonded supramolecule have been investigated by using dielectric and rheological measurements, in combination with infra-red spectroscopy and solid-state 13 C NMR experiments. Decoupling of main...
