Abstract
Poly(ethylene oxide) dissolves a wide variety of inorganic salts and forms solid complexes with multiphase structures. The interaction between polymer chains and ions directs the morphology of the sample. The structure is very sensitive to the preparation methods and the purity of the materials. In this work the morphology of poly(ethylene oxide)‐Ba(ClO~4~)~2~ complexes has been analysed. The effect of the salt concentration and the variations in the molar mass of the polymer was studied. The multiphase structures were investigated by infra‐red spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, optical microscopy, ^13^C cross polarization and magic‐angle spinning NMR spectroscopy, and wide angle X‐ray scattering. Two different crystalline phases and changes in the amorphous phase were found for the complexes when the salt concentration was varied.

## Abstract **Summary:** Amphiphilic triblock copolymers (PEO~__x__~‐__b__‐PDMS~__y__~‐__b__‐PEO~__x__~) with different block lengths were synthesized and multi‐morphological complex crew‐cut, star‐like, and short‐chain aggregates were prepared by self‐assembly of the given copolymers. The morpholo
High molecular mass copolymers (P(EH/EO)s) were synthesized by coordination anionic polymerization of ethylene oxide (EO) and epichlorohydrin (EH), and P(EH/EO)s were used for the preparation of the ion-conducting matrix. The copolymers having EO unit contents of less than 63 mol% were amorphous, an
