Nonwoven materials based on polyethylene oxide for use as a polymer electrolyte in memristive devices

Resumo

Nonwoven materials were prepared by electrospinning from solutions of polyethylene oxide in water and in a 0.1 M aqueous lithium perchlorate solution. Addition of lithium perchlorate increases the conductivity of the solutions but does not alter their viscosity. The mean diameter of the fibers obtained was 100–500 nm. The supramolecular structure of the polymer underwent no significant changes in the course of electrospinning. The materials obtained can be applied directly onto organic memristive devices and used as a polymer electrolyte.
