Abstract
Solid phase ion conductors have been the object of studies during the last years for their potential use as conducting polymer matrices in e lectrochromic devices, sensors, photovoltaic and dry batteries. Comb p olymers of poly(styrene) with oligo(ethylene oxide) side chains were i nvestigated. They show reasonable conductivity of about 10(-7)-10(-5) siemens/cm at ambient temperature and lithiumperchlorate as salt elect rolyte. A dependence of the conductivity from the side chain length an d the amount of added salt was found.
