Resumen en inglés Amylopectin-rich starch samples (Amidex 4001 Corn Products Brasil Ingredientes Industriais Ltda.) were grafted with polyethers with the purpose of obtaining new materials for application as solid polymeric electrolytes. Grafting reaction was performed by the addition of starch dissolved in DMSO to toluene poly(propylene oxide) diisocyanate (Resibras) dissolved in the same solvent. This reaction produced a film with good mechanical properties. The film samples were characterized by 13C-NMR, FTIR, DSC, X-Ray and SEM. The FTIR spectrum shows a sharp NH band and a very small urethane band. The 13C-NMR spectrum revealed a peak at 20 ppm, that can be attributed to the CH3 of the polyether chain, and two small peaks at 117 and 140 ppm, attributed to the aromatic ring. The X-ray diffractograms also indicated that after the grafting reaction, the samples of amylopectin-rich starch are more amorphous. Moreover, the glass transition temperature (Tg) dropped from 50 °C to -11 °C. These results indicate formation of grafted products and the low Tg of the samples suggests that polyether-grafted starch is a good candidate to obtain solid polymeric electrolytes
