The sol–gel process was used to prepare amorphous di-amide cross-linked alkyl/siloxane hybrid materials (di-amidosils) incorporating europium triflate (Eu(CF3SO3)3). Samples with 200 ≤ n ≤ 8 (where n is the molar ratio of carbonyl oxygen atoms per Eu3+ ion) were studied. The conformations of the alkyl chains of the host matrix in the doped di-amidosils (essentially gauche) are not affected by the presence of th...
Fourier transform mid-infrared and Raman spectroscopies were employed to elucidate the cation/ alkylene chains, cation/cross-link, cation/anion interactions and hydrogen bonding occurring in amorphous di-amide cross-linked alkylene/siloxane hybrid materials (di-amidosils) doped with potassium and magnesium triflates (KCF3SO3 and Mg(CF3SO3)2, respectively). Materials with compositions oo > n > 5 (where n express...
FTIR and Raman spectroscopies were used to investigate the cation/polymer, cation/urea bridge, cation/anion and hydrogen bonding interactions in poly(ethylene oxide)/siloxane di-ureasil networks prepared by the sol-gel route and doped with LiTFSI. Materials with compositions 200>n>5 (where n expresses the molar ratio of OCH2CH2/Li+) were studied.
Di-urea cross-linked POE/siloxane hybrid ormolytes (di-ureasils) doped with a wide concentration range of lithium perchlorate trihydrate (LiClO4·3H2O) (200 ≥ n ≥ 0.5, where n expresses the salt content in terms of the number of ether oxygen atoms per Li+ ion) have been analysed by Fourier transform infrared and Raman (FT-IR and FT-Raman, respectively) spectroscopies and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results obta...
Sol-gel derived KCF3SO3-doped di-urea cross-linked poly(oxyethylene) (POE)/siloxane (di-ureasil) ormolytes with ∞ > n ≥ 1 (n is the number of oxyethylene units per K+ ion) have been analysed. Samples with n > 40 are thermally stable up to 310 ºC. At n ≥ 100, POE crystallites are present. At n = 5 a crystalline POE/KCF3SO3 complex with stoichiometry 1:1 is formed. In the xerogel with n =1 this complex coexists w...
Prova tipográfica (In Press) ; Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) synthesized by the sol-gel process and designated as ormolytes (organically modified electrolytes), have been prepared through the incorporation of lithium perchlorate, LiClO4 into the U(2000) organic-inorganic hybrid network. Electrolytes with lithium salt compositions of n (where n indicates the number of oxyethylene units per Li+ ion) between ...
Poly(oxyethylene)( POE)/siloxane hybrids (di-ureasils) doped with a wide concentration range of lithium triflate were investigated. The host matrix of these materials (d-U(2000)) is a sol-gel derived siliceous network to which POE chains with about 40 repeat units are bonded through urea linkages. Xerogels with n between 500 and 5 (where n is the molar ration of OCH2CH2 repeat units to lithium íons) were obtain...
Novel amide cross-linked alkylene/siloxane hybrid materials (di-amidosils) synthesized by the sol-gel process have been investigated. Two samples identified by the notation d-A(x) with x = 4 and 8 (where x is the number of methylene groups of the alkylene chain) have been produced as transparent, amorphous, rigid monoliths, thermally stable up to about 381 and 400 ºC, respectively. In the d-A(8) hybrid the sili...
