description

An aliphatic random copolymer ionene (a cationic polyelectrolyte with N + in the repeat unit), was fractionated with the continuous polymer fractionation and investigated for its molecular weight dependent properties. The fractions were analyzed with GPC and capillary viscometry for their molecular weight. Glass transition temperatures were determined with DSC and a strong molecular weight dependence was observed, but no influence in the ionic conductivity was observed. The temperature dependency of ionic conductivity in ionenes is described.
