Ion Transport and Mechanical Properties of Non-Crystallizable Molecular Ionic Composite Electrolytes

|
By Ciprian Iacob, Andrew Korovich, Joshua E. Bostwick, Curt J. Zanelotti
| ACS Publications
Polymer electrolytes show promise as alternatives to conventional electrolytes in energy storage and conversion devices but have been limited due to their inverse correlation between ionic conductivity and modulus.

Ion Transport in Pendant and Backbone Polymerized Ionic Liquids

|
By Takeru Noda, Atsushi Matsumoto, Ciprian Iacob, Preeya Kuray
| American Chemical Society
Polymerized ionic liquids (PILs) are single-ion conductors in which one of the ionic species is tethered to the polymer chain while the other is free to be transported. The ionic species can either be directly incorporated into the polymeric backbone (backbone PILs) or placed as pendant groups to the chain (pendant PILs).

Molecular Dynamics of Polyfarnesene

|
By Ciprian Iacob, James Runt, Taejun Yoo
| American Chemical Society
This paper represents the first comprehensive report of the molecular weight dependence of the dynamics of polyfarnesene (PF), utilizing oscillatory shear rheology and broadband dielectric spectroscopy. Extended PF chain conformations arising from tightly packed C11/C13 pendant groups reduce the probability of chain entanglements and lead to Rouse-like melt dynamics up to a critical molecular weight ∼105 g/mol. At higher molecular weights, PF behaves as an entangled polymer melt.

Introducing Large Counteranions Enhances the Elastic Modulus of Imidazolium-Based Polymerized Ionic Liquids

|
By Osamu Urakawa, Atsushi Matsumoto, Ciprian Iacob, Takeru Noda
| American Chemical Society
Polymerized ionic liquids (PILs) are believed to be ideal solid-state polymer electrolytes, and hence experimental and computational studies have been widely undertaken to understand the relationship between the chemical structure and mechanical/dielectric properties and the ionic conductivity of PILs. However, it is still a challenge to understand the effect of counterion ionic volume on the material properties of PILs. Herein, we demonstrate the effect of the ionic volume ratio of...
