Abstract

Polymeric alkali ion conductors consisting of a comblike polysiloxane with oligo-oxyethylene side chains and pendant sulfonate groups were synthesized by the quantitative hydrosilylation of an allyl methoxy-polyethylene glycol and allyl glycidyl ether with polyhydrogenmethyl-siloxane, followed by the sulfonation of the epoxy group. The addition of Si-H is chiefly to the B-vinyl carbon and the sulfonation reaction is quantitative. DSC and conductivity measurements show that these materials are essentially amorphous and their cation conducting behavior can be interpreted by a VTF type equation. Due to the tightness of the alkali sulfonate ion pairs the conductivity of these polymers is low compared to that of dual polymer electrolytes containing LiClO{sub 4} or LiCF{sub 3}SO{sub 3} salt. However, conductivities of up to 10{sup {minus}5} S cm{sup {minus}1} at 25{degrees}C can be achieved by adding cation chelating ligands such as tetraethylene glycol. The effect of cation, temperature, ion content, glass transition temperature, and additives on the conductivity of these materials is discussed. Well-defined multifunctional isocyantes are obtained in high purity and quantitative yield by hydrosilylation of m-isopropenyl-{alpha}, {alpha}-dimethylbenzyl isocyanate (m-TMI) with cyclic and acyclic hydrogen-methylsiloxanes. The products were exclusively result from {beta}-addition of Si-H to the double bond in m-TMI. The polyisocyanates were reactedmore »« less

Star polymers with NPPEG arms in aqueous solutions separate into two phases of constant composition, the condensed phase being an associative network resembling a hydrogel.

Synthesis and properties of amphiphillic copolymers

Conference Welsh, D M ; Fish, D H

Water soluble amphophilic star polymers and copolymers are potentially useful in binding organic contaminants in natural waters. Polymers with better binding, and precipitation properties are being researched to help make their use more feasible. In this study copolymers of styrene and 3-isopropenyl-{alpha}-{alpha}-dimethylbenzyl isocyanate (TMI) were made by radical polymerization. The isocyanate group was then reacted with the hydroxy group of nonylphenoxy poly(ethylene glycol), Igepal. The properties of these polymers were compared with previously made star polymers.
Physical hydrogels of associative star polymers

Conference Zhou, G ; Smid, J

Amphiphilic star polymers consisting of a hydrophobic core and hydrophilic arms end-capped with hydrophobic moieties exhibit associative properties in aqueous solution. Using large hydrophobic aliphatic tri- or tetraisocyanates derived from m-TMI, a series of well-defined stars with three or four polyethylene oxide arms and nonylphenoxy end groups were synthesized and characterized. When dissolved in water, separation into a dilute and concentrated phase occurs. The polymer concentration remains constant in each phase, their volume fractions being proportional to the total polymer concentration. The gel phase resembles an amphiphilic hydrogel with a strong affinity for hydrophobic compounds. Brookfield viscosity measurements also confirmmore »« less
Ionic interactions and transport properties in methyl terminated poly(propylene glycol)(4000) complexed with LiCF{sub 3}SO{sub 3}

Journal Article Ferry, A - Journal of Physical Chemistry B: Materials, Surfaces, Interfaces, amp Biophysical

Alternating current (ac) impedance, restricted diffusion, and vibrational spectroscopic (Raman and IR) measurements have been conducted on complexes of methyl capped poly(propylene glycol) of molecular weight 4000 and LiCF{sub 3}SO{sub 3} salt. The relative concentrations of anions in different chemical environments have been calculated from an analysis of the symmetric anion SO{sub 3} stretch (Raman) over a wide concentration range. Comparisons are made to previous studies on hydroxyl capped PPG systems, and we find that polar polymer end groups play an important role in the solvation of the salt. The relative fraction of anions interacting directly with lithium cations ismore »« less

Attempts at lithium single-ionic conduction by anchoring sulfonate anions as terminating groups of oligo(oxyethylene) side chains in comb-type polyphosphazenes

Journal Article Tada, Yuji ; Sato, Moriyuki ; Takeno, Noboru ; ... - Chemistry of Materials; (United States)

Novel comb-type polyphosphazenes with anchored lithium sulfopropyl oligo(oxyethylene) side chains [SEP] were synthesized by a one-step reaction with lithium bisulfite and polyphosphazenes containing oligo(oxyethylene) side chains terminated with allyl groups [AEP]. The dc ionic conductivity ([sigma]) of SEP was measured using lithium electrodes and compared with hybrid (polymer-salt complexes) between LiSO[sub 3]CF[sub 3] and the corresponding non-sulfonate comb-type polymer [MEP], i.e., poly(bis[[omega]-methoxyoligo(oxyethylene)]phosphazene). While the time dependence of [sigma]/[sigma][sub o] ([sigma][sub o]: initial conductivity) of SEP showed a constant value, that of the hybrid system drastically decreased with time due to the self-polarization by mobile anions. The stationary values of [sigma]more »« less

Structural and fast ion transport properties of glassy and amorphous materials

Technical Report Whitmore, D H ; Georgopoulos, P

This research has dealt with ionic conductivity in two classes of electrolytes. Solid inorganic, as well as polymer. In the former case, a structural characterization study of the fast Ag{sup +} ion conducting glassy electrolyte Ag{sub 0.25}Ge{sub 0.19}Se{sub 0.56} was undertaken by means of differential anomalous x-ray scattering techniques. The Ag{sup +} ion transport behavior was probed with the aid of complex impedance spectroscopy and pulsed field gradient NMR measurements of the Ag{sup +} ion diffusivity. We found evidence suggesting that short (3.1--3.5 A) Ag-Ag distances are present. The observed prefactor for conductivity suggests that the number of mobile Ag{supmore »« less
