Abstract: A resist mixture for manufacturing an ion-conductor. In some examples the mixture is crosslinkable and comprises: a polymer comprising siloxane; a crosslinker; and a salt comprising a cationic component, and an anionic component. In other examples the mixture is polymerisable and comprises: a polymer comprising siloxane; a monomer; and a salt comprising a cationic component, and an anionic component. At least one of the cationic component or the anionic component is bonded to the polymer.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the synthesis of phosphorus based polymer networks by thermal or photopolymerizaton of primary phosphines with olefins which exhibit tunable oxidative and mechanical properties. The method involves mixing a polymerizaton initiator with a phosphine and an olefin to produce a mixture and exposing the mixture to any one or combination of light, electron beam, or heat to induce polymerizaton of the primary phosphines with the olefins wherein the reactivity of the primary phosphines results in the production of polymers containing P—C bonds. When the olefin is a flexible alkene, upon polymerizaton a polymer network is produced which is less rigid than a polymer network produced using a rigid alkene. If a rigid alkene is used, upon polymerizaton a polymer network is produced that is firmer than a polymer network produced using a flexible alkene. In this way the physical properties of the polymers containing P—C bonds is tunable.

Abstract: A method of forming a polyelectrolyte polymer by photopolymerizing a monomer having an ionic group covalently linked to a photocurable group. The ionic group can be borate and/or phosphonium ion. The polymer can be cross-linked as by diacrylate.
