Cross linked polymers PU (polyurethane) gel electrolytes have been synthesized from polyethylene oxide triol (PEO triol) and 4,4-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI). The minimum and maximum intake of liquid electrolyte by this gel is 35 and 65 wt % respectively. WAXD patterns for PU gel electrolytes shows featureless behaviour indicating absence of crystalline phase. SAXS pattern of polyurethane gel exhibits a broad peak at lower q value (∼0.7 nm -1 ) that is attributed to the presence of two phases, namely hard domains and soft domains. The structure of the gel was inferred as a continuous soft phase with dispersed hard domains. The shape and interface of the hard domains were determined from the slope of the curve in log ( I ( q )) versus log ( q ) plot. The slope of the curve decreases with increase in propylene carbonate (PC) content. The decrease in slope from -1.5 to -0.2 suggest that the shape of the hard domains changed from diffused ellipsoidal to the diffused spherical when the PC content was i...
