conductivity depends upon the glass transition, T., with conductivity dropping rapidly at T < T8 .
By contrast, the polyiodides show only a small inflection in
the conductivity around T. and substantial conductivity below that temperature. Apparently charge transport dynamics are only weakly coupled to the dynamics of the host polymer.
Variable temperature Raman spectroscopy has been employed to
investigate the low temperature behavior of polyiodides in
PPO/MIn systems.
