INFLUENCE OF LIClO[4] ADDITION ON STRUCTURE AND MISCIBILITY FEATURES OF PEO-PPO-PEO BLOCK COPOLYMER AND ITS BLENDS WITH PMMA HOMOPOLYMER, V.V.Shilov, Yu. P.Gomza, A.E.Nesterov, Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, Ukraine National Academy of Sciences, Kharkivske shausse, 48, 02160 Kyiv, Ukraine and M.V.Burmistr Ukrainian State Chemical-Technological University, Pr. Gagarina, 8, Dnepropetrovsk, 49005, Ukraine Solvent-free block copolymer/dissolved salt systems as well as blends based on homopolymer, block copolymer and dissolved salt are not studied up to now, in spite of importance of such systems both with practical and fundamental point of view. Here the results of thermal properties, structure and miscibility behavior of PEO-PPO-PEO block copolymer, PEO-PPO-PEO/PMMA blends as well as the corresponding LiClO[4] based solvent-free composite polymer electrolytes carried out using different scanning calorimetry, wide-angle X-ray scattering, small-angle X-ray scattering and optical turbidity techniques are reported. It was shown that the pure copolymer does not show any microphase separation effects in the temperature range studied. The WAXS and SAXS data reveal large structural changes induced by the salt. and as a result of introduction of salt. The PEO-PPO-PEO/PMMA blends are partially compatible and show LCST behavior. The increase of the PPO content in the blockcopolymer leads to bimodal displacement in the area of lower temperatures. Introduction of the salt promotes increasing stability of a single-phase state of the blends.
