Effect of modified SiO2 fillers on properties of PMMA/ENR 50 blends electrolytes / Sharil Fadli Mohamad Zamri

The polymethyl methacrylate/50 % epoxidized natural rubber (PMMA/ENR 50) blend film was not a homogeneous blend. Therefore in this study, 15 nm (SI5) and 20 nm (S20) silicon dioxide (SiCte) fillers were added to improve the homogeneity and enhance the ionic conductivity of the nanocomposite polymer...
