Investigation of mechanical properties of polyvinyl chloride–polyethylene oxide (PVC–PEO) based polymer electrolytes for lithium polymer cells

The Effect of Ethylene Dimethacrylate (EDMA) on Electrical Conductivity and Tensile Properties of Poly (Vinyl Chloride)/Poly (Ethylene Oxide)/Polyaniline (PAni) Conductive Films

“…This could be attributed to the ability of PAni to provide greater stiffness to the conductive films. Ramesh et al 7 investigated the mechanical properties of PVC/PEO based polymer electrolytes for lithium polymer cell. They found that the Young's modulus improved with the addition of silica.…”

Miscibility of Poly(Vinyl Chloride) with Poly(Ethylene Oxide) of Different Molecular Weights

“…7 However, due to weak mechanical property, neat PEO cannot be used at high temperatures and pressures. Ramesh et al 8 have demonstrated that the addition of PVC into PEO membranes improves their mechanical property. Generally, by mixing two or more different polymers together, it is possible to achieve the various properties of the final material.…”

“…7 Miscibility, mechanical, optical, morphological, and thermal properties of PVC/PEO blends have already been studied in the literature. [2][3][4][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] However, data on the miscibility of PVC and PEO are contradictory. Margaritis and Kalfoglou 10 found that PVC and PEO were miscible for PVC-rich blends according to results obtained by dynamic mechanical analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and optical microscopy.…”

Investigation of Ice-PVC separation under Flexural Loading using FEM Analysis

“…PVC is a polymer-based structure, and its mechanical properties may vary based on curing process [23]. In addition, additives can be added to obtain a range of mechanical properties, for example [24] studied mechanical properties of PVC with the addition of polyethylene oxide. In this study, soft and pure PVC is used.…”

“…It is reported that its Young's modulus can vary in the range of 1.5 MPa to 15 MPa [23]. An experiment based study reported by [24] found the Young's modulus of PVC to be around 7 MPa.…”
