Ml. Hallensleben et F. Lucarelli, POLY(STYRENE)S WITH OLIGO(ETHYLENE OXIDE) SIDE-CHAINS AS IONIC CONDUCTING MATRICES, Polymer bulletin, 37(6), 1996, pp. 765-770
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.
