Ternary blends of poly(ethylene oxide) and acrylate-based copolymers: Crystallinity, miscibility, interactions and proton conductivity

Add time:08/10/2019    Source:sciencedirect.com

In the present work, blends of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), poly(acrylonitrile-co-methyl acrylate) (PANMA) and poly(4-vinylphenol-co-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PVPh-HEM) were studied by DSC, FTIR and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). PEO/PANMA blends were found to be immiscible, while PEO/PVPh-HEM blends are miscible and PVPh-HEM/PANMA exhibits partial miscibility behaviour. The ternary PEO/PANMA/PVPh-HEM blends exhibited miscible compositions for PVPh-HEM and PEO-rich systems. The miscibility observed is a direct consequence of the hydrogen bond interactions among the polymer chains, in which the phenol groups in PVPh-HEM interact with both PEO and PANMA chains. The proton conductivity of a selected membrane based on the ternary blend containing 60% PEO and doped with H3PO4 aqueous solution reached 8 × 10−3 Ω−1 cm−1 at room temperature and 3 × 10−2 Ω−1 cm−1 at 80 °C.
