Abstract

A series of strongly microphase-separated polymerized ionic liquid (PIL) diblock copolymers, poly (styrene-b-1-((2-acryloyloxy) ethyl)-3-butylimidazolium bis ( trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide)(poly (Sb-AEBIm-TFSI)), were synthesized to explore relationships between morphology and ionic conductivity. Using small-angle X-ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy, a variety of self-assembled ...
