A novel polymer electrolyte membranes are prepared bycomprising of poly (vinylidene chloride -co-acrylonitrile)(PVdC-AN), poly (methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) with different ratio, with constant ratio of lithium per chlorate (LiClO4), andZirconia (ZrO2) by solution cast technique. The formation of blend polymer electrolyte complex has been confirmed by XRDand FTIR spectroscopy analysis. The ac impedance studies are carried out to depict role of blendingof polymers onconductivity. The high ionic conductivity of 0.6 x 10-4at 303K has been observed for the blend ratio 25:75 of PVdCAN:PMMA. The temperature dependence of the blend polymer electrolyte is found to obey VTF relation. TG/DTA analysishas been performed in order to investigate the thermal stability of the blend polymer electrolyte. The three dimensionaltopographical image of the blend are investigated using AFM.
