Dynamic melt viscoelastic behavior for polymerized ionic liquids, poly(1-ethyl-3-vinylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonylimide)) (PC2VITFSI), with various molecular weights was investigated in the frequency/temperature range from the glass to the terminal region. Viscoelastic spectra at given temperatures for PC2VITFSI with lower molecular weight were able to be well superimposed on each other to make a master curve. PC2VITFSI with a molecular weight larger than 1.4 x 10(5) were entangled with each other, showing a rubbery region in-the., master curves. However, viscoelastic spectra for PC2VITFSI With higher molecular. weight (larger than 2.2 x 10(5)) were not superimposed in the rubbery and terminal regions due to the presence of two rubbery elastic origins, i.e., chain entanglement and ionic aggregates. The presence of huge ionic aggregates was unable to be confirmed by SAXS measurements, but the formation of ion pairs between a cation and an anion was supported by the WAXS profiles. Master curves of PC2VITFSI exhibited extended shoulders in the glass-rubber transition region; these arose from the relaxation mode due to segmental motions of positively charged polymer chains affected by neighboring TFSI- anions. The entanglement and critical molar mass of PC2VITFSI were determined to be 4.5 x 10(4) and 2.2 x 10(4), respectively.
