The results of SEM and XRD analysis demonstrate that the produced CHI/MMT composites films stacked densely together to bring out well-defined nacre-like brick-mortar structure. The nanoindentation technique is used to characterize the mechanical properties of the layered nanocomposite films, which show enhanced mechanical modulus (up to -6.64 GPa) compared with the pure chitosan.展开更多

However, crystallized PEO suppresses ion conductivity at low temperature and melted PEO has low mechanical strength at high temperature. Here, random binary brush copolymer composed of PEO-and polystyrene(PS)-based side chains is synthesized. PEO crystallinity is suppressed by the introduction of PS brushes. Doping with lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate(Li Tf) induces microphase separation. Due to a random arrangement of the brushes, the microphase segregation is incomplete even at high salt loading, which provides both high ionic conductivity and high mechanical strength at room temperature. These results provide opportunities for the design of polymeric electrolytes to be used at room temperature.展开更多
