Polymethylsiloxane graft‐crosslinked with oligo(ethylene oxide) (EO) was synthesized and characterized. The polymer was an elastic solid and stable to hydrolysis. Polymer/salt complexes were formed on mixing with lithium trifluoromethane‐sulfonate(LiCF 3 SO 3 ). The ionic conductivity of the complexes was measured by complex impedance method and the conductivity reached 6 × 10 −5 S cm −1 at 25°C and 1.5 × 10 −4 S cm −1 at 40°C. The effect of salt concentration, crosslinking, length of EO units and moisture content on the conductivity were investigated. Glass transition temperature and thermal stability of the polymer and the polymer/salt complexes were determined by differential scanning calorimeter and thermogravimetric analysis measurements.
