Polymers formed from a first monomer and at least one second monomer different form the first monomer. The polymer is conformationally formed to dissolve metal salts in order to form a solid electrolyte capable of conducting lithium and other metals, which may be formed into a film, layered, or otherwise configured to conduct lithium within cell(s) of a battery. The polymer is suitable for use in various components of solid state batteries in various environmental conditions. Decomposition reactions of the polymers.
