Low current drain driven by the low ionic conductivity of a solid polymer electrolyte is one major obstacles solid-state battery. In an effort to improve membrane (PEM), polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) and monofunctional methyl ether acrylate (PEGMEA) were copolymerized via photopolymerization afford PEGDA network with dangling PEGMEA side chains. By attaching branches backbone, glass transition temperature (Tg) was found decrease, which may be controlled relative amounts PEGDA....
We demonstrate a simple route to directionally grow crystals of oligothiophenes, based on 2,5-bis(3-alkylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene with degrees polymerization 2 (BTTT-2) and 4 (BTTT-4) via zone annealing (ZA) preseeded films. ZA spun-cast films BTTT-2 does not yield highly aligned crystals. However, if the film is oven-annealed briefly prior ZA, that are millimeters in length can be grown, whose depends velocity front. The precrystallized region provides existing nuclei promote...
