Polymeric Electrolytes via Silicon - Chlorine Nucleophilic Substitution Chemistry
Abstract
The project goals are the synthesis of new materials having the potential for use as ion-conducting membranes. We have been able to make rugged membrane structures from a polymer of interest by first casting the polymer on a surface then exposing it to UV irradiation. These procedure generates free standing membranes that are quite durable in themselves. The initial goal has been to investigate the use of unsaturated carbosilane monomer functionalized with an Si-Cl bond in the synthesis of new materials for use as ion-conducting membranes. We've spent most of our time devising the synthesis chemistry needed to create chlorosilane monomers substituted with appropriate nucleophiles. The nucleophiles employed thus far have been diethylene glycol methyl ether and the sodium salt of 3-hydroxy-1-propane-sulfonic acid.
