Y. Ikeda et al., COMB-SHAPED HIGH-MOLECULAR-WEIGHT POLYETHER CONSISTING OF OXYETHYLENEUNITS FOR POLYMER SOLID-ELECTROLYTE, Polymer international, 43(3), 1997, pp. 269-273
Novel high molecular weight comb-shaped polyethers were synthesized an
d used as the matrix of a polymer solid electrolyte. Both the main cha
in and the side chain of these polyethers consist of oxyethylene units
. The new polyethers possess film-forming properties, because the weig
ht-average molecular weights were over 10(6). The short side chains of
oxyethylene units gave rise to less crystallization of poly(oxyethyle
ne) segments and to an increase of ionic conductivity when doped with
lithium perchlorate.
