ABSTRACT: The solution casting method had been used to prepare PEO/TiO2 nanocomposites films reinforced with different wt% (5,10,15) of Nano-TiO2. The XRD studies revealed that the appearance of intensity peaks at 320 and 430 in PEO/TiO2 nanocomposites suggest the incorporation of Nano-TiO2 into pure PEO and formation of different ordered phases in small domains. SEM studies revealed that the percentage of dark regions is higher compared to bright regions in higher wt% of Nano-TiO2 Nanocomposties, which revealed a degradation in crystallanity of Nanocomposite films. The noticeable porous structures in SEM micrographs, may act as conducting pathways for ions from cathode to anode or vice-versa, supporting enhancement of ionic conductivity in PEO/TiO2 Nanocomposite......
