AB  - Poly (Ethelyne) Oxide/Zirconium dioxide (PEO+xZrO<sub>2</sub> ) (x = 0, 5, 10, 25 and 50% wt.) membranes were 
obtained using 2.5% wt. acetonitrile solution. Room temperature X-Ray diffraction (XRD) showed the presence
of a mixture of phases for the whole range of ZrO<sub>2</sub> content. Raman measurements (Raman Spectroscopy (RS)) 
at room temperature revealed the presence of a mixture of vibrational states for the two phases PEO and ZrO<sub>2</sub> , 
respectively. The two techniques XRD and SR confirmed an exponential trend of the increase in the relative
volume of ZrO<sub>2</sub> on the basis of the content of ZrO<sub>2</sub> . The thermal stability of the (PEO+xZrO<sub>2</sub> ) membranes was 
corroborated using DSC measurements. The presence of ZrO<sub>2</sub> in the host matrix promoted the reduction of the 
energy needed to obtain the fusion of the complex polymer and with it an implicit increase of the disorder,
coinciding with the two XRD and RS measurements.
