Abstract
The n-alkyl derivatives C16H33OH, C16H33OCH3, C16H33OC6H5, C12H25OC6H5, (C12H25O)2C6H4 or (C16H33O)2C=O have been incorporated into the n-alkyl side chain layers formed by the amphiphilic polymer C16O5 and its smectic equimolar complex with LiClO4. All systems have conductivities ∼ 10-2 S cm-1 at 100°C but the systems with n-alkyls have higher conductivities at lower temperatures (∼10-4 S cm-1 at 40°C) which are more than two orders of magnitude greater than those of C16O5:LiClO4. This is attributed to the increase in internal space of the ionophilic helical layers brought about by the expanded ionophobic layer.
