Polymer composites have established an excellent position among the technologically essential materials because of their wide range of applications. An enormous research interest has been devoted to zinc oxide (ZnO) Nano fillers, due to their exceptional electrical, optical, thermal, mechanical, catalytic and biomedical properties. In the present work, we report a polymer nano-composite system by dispersing ZnO nano powders as fillers in plasticized (PEO+PEMA+NaIO4) matrix. The formation of nanocomposites and changes in the structural properties of the materials were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The electrical conductivity measurements of pure and nanocomposite polymer blend films were performed at various temperatures 303 – 373 k using ac impedance technique. The maximum room temperature ionic conductivity of 9.71x10-5 S/cm was obtained for the polymer electrolyte membrane with 4% ZnO concentration and exhibited Arrhenius type dependent with temperature.
