✦ Synopsis


Two polar polymers with different dielectric constants, poly(viny1idene fluoride) (PVDF) and poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO), were each blended with a chlorine-terminated poly(ethy1ene ether) (PEC) and one of the two salts, LiBF4 and LiCF3C02, to form PECplasticized polymer electrolytes. The room-temperature ionic conductivity of the PECplasticized polymer electrolytes reached a value as high as S/cm. The room-temperature ionic conductivity of the PVDF-based polymer electrolytes displayed a stronger dependence on the PEC content than did the PEO-based polymer electrolytes. In PVDF/PEC/LiBF4 polymer electrolytes, the dynamic ionic conductivity was less dependent on temperature and more dependent on the PEC content than it was in PEO/PEC/LiBF4 polymer electrolytes. The highly plasticized PVDF-based polymer electrolyte film with a PEC content greater than CF4 (CF4 defined as the molar ratio of the repeat units of PEC to those of PVDF equal to 4) was self-supported and nonsticky, while the corresponding PEO-based polymer electrolyte film was sticky. In these highly plasticized PVDF-based polymer electrolytes, the curves of the room-temperature ionic conductivity vs. the salt concentration were convex because the number of carrier ions and the chain rigidity both increased with increase of the salt content. The maximum ionic conductivity at 30Β°C was independent of the PEC content, but it depended on the anion species of the lithium salts in these highly plasticized polymer electrolytes.

The free volume behaviour of the polyacrylonitrile/lithium triflate system is investigated over the composition range 0 -75 wt % salt. The addition of salt, up to 45 wt %, to the PAN polymer substantially increases the free volume as measured by the orthopositronium pickoff lifetime, 3 . Beyond this
