Anelastic spectroscopy is used to study the composition dependence of the damping and molecular relaxation dynamics in miscible poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) blends above the glass transition temperature. The ultrahigh damping peak of the relaxation type is shown to be associated with the liquid-liquid transition of PMMA. A higher PEO concentration leads to a higher damping performance and a lower transition temperature. The decreasing activation energy with increasing PEO concentration indicates a drastic increase in molecular mobility. Moreover, the relaxation time reveals a transition from the Vogel-Fulcher-Tamman behavior to the Arrhenius behavior due to the intermolecular guest-host interactions.
