The research focused on modern technologies on the new materials and blends having distinct \u2018amalgamations properties. In this context, different polymers\/polymer blends\/polymer composites have been explored with their different electrical and optical behaviour for the wide frequency ranges from 20Hz to 1MHz which showed different characteristic and behaviour in different audio frequency (AF) and low radio frequency (RF) ranges.

These materials have fast ion conducting properties with conductivities range of 10<sup>-5<\/sup> to 10<sup>-1<\/sup> S cm<sup>-1<\/sup> at ambient temperature. Such materials are often termed as \u2018Super Ionic Solids\u2019 or \u2018Solid Electrolytes\u2019 or \u2018Fast Ion Conductors\u2019 depending on their applications. On the basis of their structures, compositions, phases, physical properties, these superionic solids are classified broadly into distinguish classes such as \u2018crystalline or polycrystalline\u2019, \u2018amorphous or glassy electrolytes\u2019, \u2018blend or composite electrolytes\u2019 and polymer electrolytes[1-3]. The recent studies and reviews revealed the use of different polymer electrolytes with or without nanofillers or salts. These polymer electrolytes are attracting great attention for their synthesis, fabrication and applications in various electronic or microelectronics devices, electrochemical devices because of their unique properties like less dielectric losses, high ionic conductivity, tuned mechanical strength and fine flexibility. Some of the metal oxides having a good absorbing quality when doped in polymer are used as absorbing materials for electromagnetic shielding. Stability and thin film casting of these materials has wide applications. The solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have lower conductivity because of high restriction in the motion of the \u2018polymer molecules\u2019, which effects the efficiency of the performance of such devices made of SPEs. This causes the development of \u2018gel\u2019 or \u2018plasticized\u2019 polymer electrolytes, whose conductivity is in the similar range as that of the \u2018liquid electrolytes\u2019. But these materials again suffer from weak mechanical strength &amp;stability due to the presence of \u2018volatile solvents\u2019 in it [3-6]. To reduce such gap, numerous modified chemical and physical techniques have been adopted by the researchers like polymer blending and doping in their researches. Basically, the polymer blending is a mixture of two or more polymers in different ratios, in which, one absorbs the EAS (Electrolyte Active Species) while another remains inert i.e. un-dissolved. The second phase provides toughness to the polymer blend films [7].It has been found that, by combining inorganic and organic components either at the molecular level or in their partially condensed forms, the mechanical, chemical, or physical properties of these composites can be controlled intelligently over wide ranges. These properties are highly influenced by the nature of the constituents as well as the reaction pathway chosen for their preparation. In general, interactions between the inorganic and organic components of the composite can range from weak forces such as hydrogen bonding to strong covalent bonds [8].<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.Polymer Families for Polymer Nanocomposites(PNCs) films<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2.1 PolyAniline(PANI):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the electrically conducting polymer family, polyaniline(PANI) is the most popular conducting polymer due toits properties, such as easy synthesis, low cost, stability, unique doping process and possessing wide range of conductivity upon doping [9-13]. However, the process ability of PANI has limitations i.e.\u00a0 the powdered form of PANI does not dissolve in any \u2018common organic solvents\u2019 and the polymer is degraded at high temperature and results in poor mechanical stability [14-16].To sort out the limitations of the process ability of the PANI, various methods have been discussed, blending and forming composites are the two most commonly used techniques [15-18]. In1990, after the discovery of the solution process ability of PANI, research on PANI composites or blends with insulating polymers gained popularity [17-18]. Over the years, many studies have been performed to find the substitute of conventional inorganic conductive fillers, such as metal particles and conducting carbon black, with conducting PANI fillers [19-21]. A number of research groups have performed extensive work on different synthesis methods and properties of various polymer blends and composites with insulting polymer matrices [22].\u201cThermo set is a stronger polymer compared to \u2018thermoplastic\u2019 because it\u2019s cross linking is distributed in all three directions\u201d[23]. Thus, thermo set polymers are suitable for high temperature and toxic chemical environment applications because they can maintain their shape and size due to the strong covalent bonds between the polymer chains and cannot be easily broken [22-24].<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.2 PolyMethyl Methacrylate (PMMA):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PMMA attracts a great attention because of its fine optical properties and vast use in optical and electronic devices. Different properties of PMMA have been studied after doping with various fillers including malachite green-doped PMMA, which reflects its use in microelectronics. Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) was discovered by British chemists Rowland Hill and John Crawford at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Imperial_Chemical_Industries\">Imperial Chemical Industries<\/a>\u00a0(ICI) in the United Kingdom (Early 1930s), its structure is shown in below Fig. 1 [8, 22-23].\u00a0 PMMA is a plastic, widely used for its stiffness and clarity in various industrial fields. It can be used as a good keeper for rare earth iron garnets which has wide technological application. The structures of pristine and doped PMMA were investigated using analysis of their infrared spectra and wide-angle XRD analysis [25]. Its pristine form has two broad humps showing its amorphous nature. The structure characteristics of PMMA have been the subject of several investigations when it is blended with some other polymers or doped with inorganic fillers. Its morphological study reflects its structural change in its matrix which do affects its mechanical, optical and electrical properties.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gyanvihar.org\/journals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/A-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"353\" height=\"155\" \/><\/p>\n<p>By using PMMA as a host polymer and C<sub>6<\/sub>H<sub>10<\/sub>O<sub>4<\/sub> as doping agent PMMA\/ C<sub>6<\/sub>H<sub>10<\/sub>O<sub>4<\/sub>was prepared by solution casting technique using DMF as solvent. The FTIR data and analysis revealed the complex formation between the salt and polymer matrix. The spectra analysis revealed that with the incorporation of adipic acid (salt) to pristine PMMA, dc conductivity value of pristine PMMA increases at ambient temperature. The \u2018Magnitude Bode ploy\u2019 shows the decline in the impedance with the addition of adipic acid to pristine PMMA[26].Also, for PMMA with PVDF, the XRD analysis revealed that the blends take place based on the influence of PMMA content on PVDF blends and varies with their different % of weight ratios. PMMA as a host polymer when blended with other polymers like PVA, PEO, PVDF in different ratios, their enhanced or changed electrical and optical properties are generated which has multi functionality in electronics devices[27-28].<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.3 Polyvinyldene fluoride (PVDF):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF), and its copolymers are the family of polymers with the highest dielectric constant and electro active response, including piezoelectric, pyroelectric and ferroelectric effects[29]. \u2018The electro active nature is again a demanding property for wide range of functionality in medicines, generation of energy and storage, monitoring &amp; control of \u2018Sensors and Actuators\u2019. Recent advances in the development of electro active composites allowing novel effects, such as magneto electric responses opened new applications areas [29].Semi-crystalline polymers have a complex structure and can present five distinct crystalline phases related to different chain conformations designed as all trans (TTT) planar zig-zag for the \u03b2-phase,T<sub>3<\/sub>GT<sub>3<\/sub>G(trans-gauche\u2013trans-gauche) for the \u03b1 and \u03b4 phases and T<sub>3<\/sub>GT<sub>3<\/sub>Gfor \u03b3 and \u03b5 phases [30, 32-33]. Fig. 2(a) &amp;(b)[29,33] shows the most investigated and widely-used PVDF phases i.e. \u03b1, \u03b2 and \u03b3-phases. Each chain possesses a dipole moment perpendicular to the polymer chain. The monomer units and therefore the dipolar moments are then packed in a morphology which can show an overall dipolar contribution per unit cell as in the polar \u03b2, \u03b3, and \u03b4 phases as shown in Fig 2(a)[30-,33].<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6151\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gyanvihar.org\/journals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/A2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"809\" height=\"354\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gyanvihar.org\/journals\/uploads\/2022\/02\/A2.png 809w, https:\/\/www.gyanvihar.org\/journals\/uploads\/2022\/02\/A2-768x336.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gyanvihar.org\/journals\/uploads\/2022\/02\/A2-624x273.png 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 809px) 100vw, 809px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>2.4 Poly pyrrole(PPy):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Polypyrrole<\/strong>\u00a0(<strong>PPy<\/strong>) is an organic polymer obtained by oxidative polymerization of pyrrole.

PPy is described as &#8220;quasi-unidimensional&#8221; vs one-dimensional since there is some cross linking and chain hopping. Undoped and doped films are insoluble in solvents but swell able. Doping makes the materials brittle. They are stable in the air up to 150\u00a0\u00b0C beyond which, the dopant starts to evolve (e.g., as HCl)[36].<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6152 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gyanvihar.org\/journals\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/A2-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"376\" height=\"222\" \/><\/p>\n<p>PPy is an insulator, but its oxidized derivatives are good electrical conductors.

The physical changes associated with this charging and discharging have been discussed as a form of artificial muscle[37].\u00a0The surface of polypyrrole films present fractal properties and ionic diffusion through them show\u00a0\u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anomalous_diffusion\">anomalous diffusion<\/a>\u2019\u00a0pattern [34-37].

PEG and PEO are synonymous \u2013 they\u00a0are different names for the same polymer. Historically, PEG has tended to be used to refer to polymers with a molecular mass below 20,000 g\/mol, whereas PEO has been used for larger polymers, though many people use the names interchangeably or prefer one over the other.PEO polymers are used as\u00a0thickeners, lubrication aids, film formers, flocculants and binders in applications including adhesives, coatings, inks, water treatment, ceramics, papermaking, agrochemicals, and electronics. Solutions of PEO have a high degree of wet tack and lubricity [43].PEO\u00a0may be used to afford\u00a0PEO-salt complexes which are act as\u00a0polymeric\u00a0electrolytes to be used for alkali metal rechargeable batteries.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.7.\u00a0 Polyvinyldene fluoride) (PVDF)\/Poly (methy methacrylate) (PMMA):<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PVDF\/PMMA blends have been studied extensively, mainly in relation to PVDF piezoelectric properties. Much attention has been paid to problems such as miscibility of the amorphous phase, crystallization of PVDF in various phases, and molecular origin of PVDF\/ PMMA interactions. Moreover, blending with PMMA was described as an original way to force PVDF to crystallize into the piezoelectric phase, the effect of addition of PMMA on the crystallization and morphology of PVDF phases. Polymer blend PVDF\/PMMA in different ratios are synthesized and studied. It has been discussed that \u2018PVDF and PMMA\u2019 turn into single particle, because these two are dispersed and mixed progressively due to the \u2018inter diffusion\u2019 of the initial drops of both of polymers [44,45]. The results are demonstrated by FTIR, X-ray, UV\u2013visible, differential thermal analysis (DTA), and SEM spectroscopy [44].Characteristic absorption bands from FTIR spectrum were identified and assigned by comparison with the literature values found for PVDF\/PMMA blends. The shift of C=O, observed in the carbonyl stretching frequencies of blends is due to fine interaction between the carbonyl and -CH<sub>2<\/sub> groups of PMMA and PVDF respectively. The change in the UV\u2013visible spectrum is due to complex formation which can be reflected in the form of decrease in the optical energy gap. The DTA thermograms depicts that the addition of PMMA decreased the melting temperature and the degree of crystallinity. Morphology of PMMA\/PVDF blends shows crystalline domains uniformly shaped with spherulites. The morphology becomes sharper and contains a longitudinal shape note spheres for PMMA\/PVDF (80\/20)[44]. Numerical approach in research tuned with their experimental data represents the formation of the interface between the two particles during the \u2018coalescence processes\u2019. Besides, such work has been verified through simulation whereas numerical methods have been carried with \u2018Fluent Ansys Software\u2019. Theories too have revealed that the PMMA polymer induces a decrease of the chemical potential of the PVDF in the blends, results in a reduction of the melting point at the equilibrium.

The porous spherulites morphology: \u2018polymer-polymer\u2019 and \u2018polymer-nano particle\u2019 interactions and the semi crystalline structures of these materials have been significantly influenced by the concentration of the nano fillers (ZnO nano particles) in the blended polymer matrix material. Also \u03b5\u055d and \u03b5\u055d\u055d, M\u055d, \u03c3 and Z spectra of these PNC materials as flexible nano dielectrics have been measured in the FR from 20 Hertz to 1 Megha Hertz by utilising the DRS(Dielectric Relaxation Spectroscopy). The DRS results at the T<sub>ambient <\/sub>, values of \u03b5\u055d\u055d increases with the increase of ZnO contents up to 3 wt% in the PEO\u2013 PVP blend matrix and deceases slightly for 5 wt%. The \u201cDielectric Relaxation Process\u201d confirms the polymers \u201ccooperative chains segmental dynamics\u201d in the blend matrix which got raised due to the presence of ZnO NPs in the complex PNC structures. Whereas the temperature dependent study of 3 wt% ZnO containing PNC film revealed that the \u03b5\u055d\u055d( complex permittivity) linearly increases with the increasing temperature, Also, the values of time \u03c4<sub>relaxation<\/sub> and \u03c3 (electrical conductivity) obeyed the \u201cArrhenius behaviour\u201d [48-50]. These materials have stability in conduction at about 3V, excellent reversibility performance (over 6V range) their significant value of ionic conductivity (~ 10<sup>\u20135<\/sup> S cm<sup>\u20131<\/sup>) confirmed their employability for the development of solid-state rechargeable LIBs (lithium-ion batteries) as electrolyte or separator. Such these NPEs materials exhibited negative resistance region above the V(Stability Voltage) in their plots. The electrical parameters and the negative resistance properties of these NPEs were found largly affected by the crystalline nature, particle size, and dielectric constant of the nanofillers. The ionic conductivity of these NSPEs depends on the structural dynamics of inorganic nano particles incorporated in \u201cion-dipolar complexes\u201d of the PNCs [51-53].<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.2\u00a0 Dielectric behavior of PEO\/PMMA blend with LiClO<sub>4 <\/sub>as dopant ionic salt and metal oxides like ZnO,\u00a0 Al<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>3<\/sub>, SiO<sub>2<\/sub> and SnO<sub>2<\/sub> as NPs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The electrical properties and the performance of the NSPE (Nanocomposite Solid Polymer Electrolyte) films containing polyethylene oxide\u00a0 and polymethyl methacrylate 50\/50 wt% as host polymer, dopsant ionic salt like LiClO<sub>4<\/sub>(Lithium perchlorate) and NPs metal oxides of 3 wt% of MOs like: ZnO\/ Al<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>3<\/sub>\/SiO<sub>2<\/sub>\/SnO<sub>2<\/sub> particles as inorganic nano fillers have been analysed by utilising the \u201celectro chemical analyzer and precision -LCR meter\u201d. Lowering in the values of \u2018Dielectric Polarization\u2019, high ionic conductivity values has been noted for all the NSPE films as compared to that of the without doped NSPEs films. It too has been noted that the \u201ccooperative polymers chain segmental dynamics\u201d got slower with the addition of NPs in the \u2018ion dipolar complexes\u2019 causes\u00a0 decrease in ionic conductivity of the NSPE films. The observed data and their correlation indicates that the \u2018dielectric relaxation time\u2019 and the \u2018ionic conductivity\u2019 confirmed the ions transportation which is occurs due to inter and intra-chain hopping in these polymer blends(PEO\u2013PMMA) electrolytes. \u201cRelaxation time\u201d {\u03c4(T)} and \u201c:dc ionic conductivity\u201d of the electrolyte films obey the \u201cArrhenius relation\u201d and their activation energies exist in between 0.22eV to 0.40eV and different with the different types of NPs(Inorganic fillers) in the NSPEs. The comparative study confirmed that \u201cthe polymers chain segmental dynamics\u201d effect the materials amorphous phase and too contributes vast applications in the lithium ions transportation and their mobility. Linear correlation in dielectric permittivity and ionic conductivity\u2019 of these NSPEs suggested the strength of dielectric polarization, the ion transportation process in the solid ion-dipolar complexes. The ionic conductivity values of these lithium ions conducting NSPEs are ~10<sup>\u20135<\/sup>Scm<sup>\u20131 <\/sup>suggesting their suitability as flexible-type solid electrolyte materials for the design and development of dry lithium-ion batteries and several other \u2018ion-conducting devices\u2019 [49, 53].<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.3 Dielectric Property of SnO<sub>2 <\/sub>doped Polymer blends:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>NPs incorporated polyethylene oxide\/polyvinyl pyrrolidone blend matrix and PEO\/PMMA\u2013SnO<sub>2<\/sub>NCs were studied, and their significant data and results highlight their multi-functional applications in optoelectronics or microelectronic devices [44-48]. The SnO<sub>2<\/sub> is an important n-type semiconductor oxide having wide energy band gap (~3.6 eV) [51]. SnO<sub>2 <\/sub>has been frequently used with different polymers for the preparation of \u2018transparent organic resistive memory devices\u2019, \u2018gas sensors\u2019, \u2018transparent electrodes for solar cells\u2019, electro chromic windows, and electrolytes for \u2018energy storage\/ converter devices. Furthermore, the SnO<sub>2 <\/sub>NPs loaded PEO matrix has also been considered as the quality performance NSPEs (NanoComposite Solid Polymer Electrolytes) as potential candidates for \u2018energy storage\/converter devices\u2019 [39-40]. Literature survey unveils the structural, dielectric, and electrical properties of SnO<sub>2 <\/sub>dispersed in PEO- PNC matrix films over the frequency range from 20 Hz to 1 MHz at ambient temperature. The changes in the \u2018degree of crystallinity of the PEO\u2019 matrix loaded with x wt% of SnO<sub>2 <\/sub>and the alteration in morphology of these materials reflects its characteristics behaviour.\u00a0 SnO<sub>2<\/sub> nanofiller concentration in these materials was kept low (\u2264 5 wt%) to avoid the NPs agglomeration and successful preparation of the PNCs [ 37,39,51,54].The influenced crystallographic study of PEO-<em>x <\/em>wt% SnO<sub>2<\/sub>films proves a huge alteration in crystals phase concentration of the PEO due to \u2018Polymer\u2013NP\u2019 Electrostatic Interactions. A uniform increase in the intensities of SnO<sub>2<\/sub> characteristic diffraction peaks with the increase in its amount in the PEO matrix confirms the homogeneity of the NPs in the NCs which can be proved by the images obtained through SEM. The \u2018Degree of Crystallinity\u2019(In %) of the host PEO matrix nonlinearly decreases with the increase in SnO<sub>2<\/sub> concentration, but there is a uniform increase in crystallinity of the \u2018bulk composite material\u2019. The FTIR results reveal weak chemical but appropriate electrostatic interactions of the SnO<sub>2<\/sub> NPs with the dipolar groups of PEO chains. The dielectric and electrical properties of PEO-<em>x <\/em>wt% SnO<sub>2<\/sub> films (<em>x wt%)<\/em>and x=0, 1, 3, and 5 are reported over the FR(frequency range: 20 Hz \u20131 MHz), at 30 \u00b0C, and also with temperature variation for the PEO-3 wt% SnO<sub>2<\/sub> film as a representative sample. The dispersion of SnO<sub>2<\/sub> NPs produces high IP(Interfacial Polarization) at LFR(Low Frequencies Range) and also favours the dipole ordering at HFR due to which the complex permittivity of these \u2018PNC materials\u2019 significantly increases. A weak relaxation peak was observed in the LFR of the electric modulus spectra which is corresponding to the MWS relaxation process, whereas relatively very high intense relaxation peak was appeared in the HFR(high-frequency region) attributing to the \u2018conductivity relaxation\u2019 associated with the \u2018PEO chain segmental motion\u2019. The presence of SnO<sub>2<\/sub> NPs in the PEO structures increases the chain segmental dynamics and also the electrical conductivity of these NCs. The \u2018dielectric permittivity\u2019 and \u2018electrical conductivity\u2019 significantly increases with the increase in temperature of the PNC film confirming thermally activated dielectric behavior. The \u2018relaxation time\u2019 and \u2018dc electrical conductivity\u2019 of the PNC film obey Arrhenius relation with appreciably low activation energies. The enhancement of dielectric permittivity with the nanofiller concentration suggests the suitability of these materials as tunable nano dielectrics which could be promising dielectric substrates and insulators in the fabrication of flexible-type advanced.[55]<\/p>\n<p>Further, PNC films in which tin oxide (SnO<sub>2<\/sub>) NP as nano fillers with 1, 3 and 5 wt% added with polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP)\/polyethylene oxide (PEO) were prepared through casting of aqueous solutions. The scanning electron microscope micrographs of these PNC\u2019s films represent the drastic changes in the \u2018macrosized spherulites\u2019 and \u2018micro sized pores\u2019 of the polymer matrix with the dispersion of different(x) wt% of SnO<sub>2 <\/sub>NP\u2019s. FTIR results showed that \u201cSnO<sub>2 \u00a0<\/sub>NP\u2019s behave as geometrical incarceration for the polymer blend structures due to which PEO contents crystallites anomalously changed through XRD observations. Dielectric permittivity and electrical conductivity of the materials PVP\/PEO blend with different SnO<sub>2<\/sub> concentration was measured in the frequency range window of 20 Hz to 1 MHz. The dielectric permittivity of these NCs were appreciably high at lower AF (Audio Frequencies) but decreased with the increase in frequency within this region and independent to frequency in the RF (Radio Frequency) region. \u2018Dielectric permittivity of the developed PNC materials in the RF region revealed their principally attribution to the DP (Dipolar Polarization)\u2019, whereas these PNCs materials are strongly influenced by the IP (Interfacial Polarization) and relaxed in the lower AF region. \u2018The study of (PVP\/PEO)\/3wt% SnO<sub>2<\/sub> film or sample confirmed that the dielectric polarization, dc electrical conductivity, and MWS relaxation are thermally active with temperature\u2019, The nanofiller concentration dependent dielectric permittivity has reasonably low loss values of the (PVP\/PEO)\/x wt% SnO<sub>2<\/sub> films credited their utilization as \u2018tunable nano dielectrics\u2019 for making flexible \u2018biodegradable microelectronic\u2019 components with enhanced energy storage capacitors.

The rigorous increase of \u2018dielectric relaxation time\u2019 showed that the dispersed \u2018exfoliated nanoscale MMT clay\u2019 in the blend matrix of polymer produces a large obstacle in the \u2018polymer chain dynamics\u2019. The results obtained confirmed that the \u2018real part of dielectric function\u2019 of the NCs can be tuned by incorporating the different amount of filler (MMT clay) for their use as \u2018nano dielectric materials\u2019 in the \u2018microelectronic technology [56]. Dielectric spectroscopy measures the degree of dispersion of nanoscale MMT clay in the polymer matrix and the hindrance to the polymer local chain dynamics. Ist too acts as diagnostic sensor in the development of testing and monitoring technique in the area of NC formation especially with the incorporation of MMT clay. The dielectric study revealed that the \u03b5<sub>0<\/sub> value can be tailored over the range of nearly 1 by loading the 0.5\u20132 wt% MMT clay in the PVA_PEO polymer blend matrix for their use as low dielectric constant nano dielectrics with improved mechanical and thermal properties in low frequency microelectronic technology. \u2018The raising values\u00a0 in polymer chain segmental motion relaxation time with the increase of MMT clay concentration up to the 2 wt.% promote the miscibility between PVA and PEO[54,56], this is mainly due to bridging polymers chains through H-bonds with intercalated and exfoliated nanostructures. of MMT clay sheets.

The observed data revealed that besides the \u2018amorphicity\u2019, the ionic conductivity of these electrolytes governed by the relaxation time and the dielectric strength, It too was found that the ionic conductivity of these electrolytes has correlation with the \u2018dielectric strength\u2019 and the \u2018Polymer chain segmental motion relaxation time\u2019. The ions mobility is due to cations coordinated \u2018polymer chain segmental motion\u2019 and their transportations occur by \u2018hopping mechanism\u2019.

These PEO\u2013PMMA blend electrolytes have nearly 1-2 orders of magnitude, higher ionic conductivity at T(room) as compare to the PEO\/PMMA based electrolytes. Significantly, enhanced conductivity at room temperature confirms the suitability of the PEO\u2013PMMA blend based electrolytes for the lithium-ion batteries and other electro chromic devices. \u2018The unplasticized PEO\u2013PMMA blend electrolytes structures are found amorphous due to blend miscibility and its complexations with the Li- cations[53,56-57]\u2019.But the amorphous phase gradually falls as the PEG concentration increases in the electrolytes, which is owing to the same backbone units of PEG and PEO molecules which is coupled with segmental motion of polymers chain[53,57].<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.6 PEO\u2013OMMT Nano Composites Film:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Structural analysis of \u2018PEO\u2013OMMT nanocomposites\u2019 using various formalisms of dielectric processes.

Techniques related to the synthesis of films or pellets have been widely reviewed, from the diverse doped polymer blends synthesis techniques. Synthesis techniques and dielectric properties and semiconducting characteristics of diverse synthesized polymer with salts, SiO<sub>2<\/sub>, CuO, SnO<sub>2<\/sub>, ZnO, Fe<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>3<\/sub>, TiO<sub>2<\/sub>, MMT and OMMT were mentioned in details which were synthesized in diverse nanostructures such as NPs, NWs, nano platelets, NCs, NTs, and NFs. It is observed that different synthetic strategies were taken and explored to enhance dielectric efficiency, including metal oxides doping, filling with inorganic materials and salts. The structural properties of these synthesized polymer nano composites have also been discussed herein. Their enhanced dielectric properties with less dielectric losses with the addition of metal oxides indicates conducting nature and reflects its wide applications in the field of microwave electronics or optoelectronics. Notably, several studies argued the development of multifunctional PNCs, but it too was noticed that few got successful response in conducting materials depending on the band gaps between conduction and valence bands whereas few of them have wide use in insulators. To overcome the limitation in several blends different approaches including doping of other materials (Salts, SiO<sub>2<\/sub>, CuO, SnO<sub>2<\/sub>, ZnO, Fe<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>3<\/sub>, TiO<sub>2<\/sub>, MMT and OMMT) have been proposed and reviewed here. It can be concluded that further progress and development of new polymer blends filled with new dopants would facilitate promising applications in opto-electronics devices. Further advancement over coming limitations of MO based polymer blends, as mentioned above, would lead these films be more attractive candidate material, for future electronics. Also, these PNCs would participate in fascinating multidisciplinary research such as bioelectronics, opto electronics, new frequency generators and degradable electronics, soft robotics, and epidermal electronics. In view of the above mention results in the present review article, it can be inferred that all the optimized composition of polymer blend\/gel electrolytes using inorganic materials or given salts can be used as a potential candidate as an electrolyte materials in different electrochemical devices. Ionic liquid based polymeric systems have to be further investigated in order to improve their electrochemical potential window, which can further improve the device performance [51, 54-55, 56-59, 68].<\/p>\n<p><strong>Funding:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This research did not receive any specific grant from funding agencies in the public, commercial, or not-for-profit sectors.<\/p>\n<p><strong>References:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Bruce, D.
