Abstract: | Summary The effects of the storage at room temperature of PEO-KSCN polymer electrolytes have been studied by differential scanning
calorimetry (DSC) and dynamical mechanical analysis. It has been revealed that, over the explored time interval, the annealing
causes small variations in the anharmonic and relaxation properties of the samples, which are to be ascribed to changes in
the relative amount of the phases building up the structure. The elastic and anelastic characteristics show a well-defined
dependence on the degree of crystallinity of the polymer, which grows slightly with increasing annealing time. The application
of a simplified version of a quasi-harmonic model and of the Kolrausch-Williams-Watts stretched exponential function permits
to describe the temperature behaviour of the elastic modulusE′ and to obtain an anharmonicity parameter characterizing the polymeric system.
