| Abstract: | Polymethoxy oligo (oxyethylene) propylene] was synthesized by means of the Et(Ind)2ZrCl2-MAO catalyst. The ionic conductivity of polymethoxy oligo (oxyethylene) propylene] with the lithium salt depends on the content of the lithium salt. The temperature dependence of conductivity was determined and the Vogel–Tammann/Hesser–Fulcher (VTF) plot agreed well with theoretical values, confirming the influence of the polymer segmental motion on conductivity. The ionic conductivity as high as 10−4.7 s/cm can be obtained at room temperature, and this can be increased one or two orders of magnitude by blending the polyelectrolyte with hydroxyl-containing additives such as tetraethylene glycol. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
