Abstract

Solution casting method was used to prepare the Ethylene Carbonate (EC) doped in NaClO4 salt added PMMA:PEO blend polymer electrolyte thin films. Different characterization techniques such as XRD, SEM, DSC and FTIR were employed to study the effect on structural properties of these prepared thin films. The XRD, SEM and DSC results revealed the dominant presence of amorphous content in PMMA based polymer blend with the addition of PEO, NaClO4 and EC, which functions to enhance in ionic conductivity. FTIR spectra results elucidated that the vibrational band peaks corresponds to PMMA shifted towards lower or higher wave number side in presence of PEO, NaClO4 and EC, which confirms the interaction/complexation between PMMA, PEO polymers with NaClO4 salt and EC plasticizer.
