Complexes of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), with various alkali metal salts are known to exhibit ionic conductivities which exceed 10 −5(Ωcm) −1 at moderate temperatures. We have employed IR and Raman spectroseopy to study well characterized samples of the following polymer-salt complexes: PEO·NaBr, PE...
