Effect of Temperatures on Rheological Properties of Polyethylene Oxide (PEO)/Poly n-butyl Methacrylate (PnBMA) Blends

Abstract

Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have improved lithium-ion battery safety in recent years as compared to liquid electrolytes. A solid-state SPE lowers leakage, flammability, and other safety issues, making them desirable for applications with tight safety requirements. Blending of two or more polymers is chosen as the polymer electrolytes to improve the conductivity of the systems. By understanding the flow behaviour and mechanical relaxation of miscible or immiscible polymer blends is necessary to explain their physical properties such as rheology in SPE materials.
