Miscibility, conductivity and intermolecular interaction studies of poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(methyl methacrylate) blend based nanocomposite polymer electrolytes / Siti Rozana Abd Karim

The addition of the third component into the polymer-salt system such as nanofiller has been extensively studied by researchers to increase the amorphous region of the polymer electrolyte system, thus improving the ion movement in the polymer chain. In most studies, the range of ionic conductivity o...

In the presence of TiO2, the σDC values of the salt-free neat PEO and neat PMMA remain unchanged with ascending nanofiller content. However, the σDC values of the PEO/ PMMA 75/25 blend decreases by one order of magnitude. PEO/PMMA 75/25 at YS = 0.10 shows the shortest relaxation time (τmax) among the blend composition. Overall, PEO/PMMA 75/25 blend system has the best ɛ’, ɛ”, M ‘ and M “ values which are very close to the respective values of PEO system, thus accounts for its best ion conductivity among the rest of the blend systems investigated. The intermolecular interaction studies by FTIR have shown that addition of LiClO4 cause the shifting of characterized peak in PEO, PMMA and its blend, however addition of TiO2 has proved that the nanofiller is more active to the salt-added PEO/PMMA 75/25 system as compared to the parent polymers. The observation of crystal structure under XRD have shown that LiClO4 and TiO2 give effect on the crystal structure of PEO and PEO/PMMA blend, supporting the observation done by other instruments studied in this research.
