Abstract
Functionalized telechelics based on poly(ethylene oxide) capped with OH-groups, with protons (H +) in the terminals have been prepared and the effects of structure on molecular mobility and protonic conductivity have been investigated. Molecular mobility and protonic conductivity were measured by means of broadband dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (10 −2–10 9 Hz). Pressure effects were also studied by using a multianvil apparatus to generate conditions up to 5 kbar. The features of relaxation, associated to the glass transition, and of dc conductivity σ dc, determined from ac conductivity ( σ ac( f)) plots, were analysed in detail. Protonic conductivity is governed by the motion of the polymeric chains, however a decoupling between translational and rotational motion is observed, as the temperature decreases towards the glass transition temperature. Dc conductivity was found to decrease with increasing pressure.
