Lithium Bonding in Acrylonitrile Copolymers and Nanocomposites with Ionic Conductivity.

Lithium is known to form complexes with organic compounds including polymers which have different kinds of bonding. Regular polymers as poly(ethylene oxide) can form crystalline complexes with ionic bonds with Li. In this work, statistical copolymers acrylonitrile - high methacrylates are synthesized, and their nanocomposites with a lithium salt are prepared. Their dielectric characteristics and ionic conductivity are studied. The results describe interactions between Li and copolymers which can be explained by the lithium bonding in systems.
