International Classification:

H01M 10/0567
H01M 10/052

US Classification:

429307, 429207, 429342, 429388, 429341, 429340, 429339, 429200

Abstract:

A battery electrolyte solution contains from 0. 01 to 80% by weight of an aromatic phosphorus compound. The aromatic phosphorus compound provides increased thermal stability for the electrolyte, helping to reduce thermal degradation, thermal runaway reactions and the possibility of burning. The aromatic phosphorus compound has little adverse impact on the electrical properties of the battery, and in some cases actually improves battery performance.

US Classification:

429189, 429317, 429312, 429309

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to novel block copolymers and to novel polymeric electrolyte compositions, such as solid polymer electrolytes that comprises a block copolymer including a first block having a glass transition temperature greater than about 60 C. or a melting temperature greater than about 60 C., and a second block including a polyalkoxide. The polymer electrolyte composition preferably has a shear modulus, G′, measured at 1 rad/sec and about 30 C. and a conductivity, σ, measured at about 30 C., such that i) G′—σ is greater than about 200 (S/cm)(dynes/cm); and ii) G′ is from about 10to about 10dynes/cm2.

Assignee:

The Dow Chemical Company - Midland MI

International Classification:

C08G 5920
C08G 5950
C02F 135

US Classification:

525504

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to epoxy-based polymeric nonlinear optical materials in which a nonlinear optical active moiety or functionality forms the crosslink between polymer chains and a process for making the nonlinear optical (NLO) epoxy polymer including heating an epoxy resin and a curing agent such as a bi- or tri-functional aromatic amine containing an electron-withdrawing group, for example, diamino diphenylsulfone and poling the mixture under high voltage at elevated temperature for a period of time to bring about orientation of the nonlinear optical moieties in the polymer. The polymers have enhanced stability over polymers in which only one end of an NLO active moiety is attached to the polymer chain.
