Abstract The polymer composites based on electrostrictive materials with high polarization are attracting scientists because of the prospect of application in energy conversion and electromechanical performance. Polyurethane is one of a good flexible dielectric polymers which is more interesting in electromechanical applications due to its easy fabrication, high dielectric constant, and high electrostrictive coefficient. This work focuses on the dielectric properties and electrostrictive properties of Polyurethane (PU) filled with Polypyrrole-Carbon Black (PPy-CB) various the different concentrations. All polymer composites were prepared by using a film-casting process in solution with DMF solvent. The dielectric properties and conductivity of thin films were investigated by using LCR meter at 1-105 Hz. The results showed that the dielectric constant of composites significantly increases when the concentration of PPy-CB was increased. Moreover, the electrostrictive coefficient of composites also increases when the concentration of PPy-CB was increased. Furthermore, the electrical breakdown stretches were analyzed by using the Weibull model, this result will discuss the relationship when the PPy-CB fillers were used.

Materials exhibiting high dielectric constant (k) values find applications in capacitors, gate dielectrics, dielectric elastomers, energy storage device, while materials with low dielectric constant are required in electronic packaging and other such applications. Traditionally, high k value materials are associated with high dielectric losses, frequency-dependent dielectric behavior, and high loading of a filler. Materials with low k possess a low thermal conductivity. This creates the new challenges in the development of dielectric materials in both kinds of applications. Use of high dielectric constant filler materials increases the dielectric constant. In this study,the factors affecting the dielectric constant and the dielectric strength of polymer composites are explored. The present work aims to study the effect of various parameters affecting the dielectric properties of the materials. The factors selected in this study are the type of a polymer, type of a filler material used, size, shape, loading level and surface modification of a filler material, and method of preparation of the polymer composites. The study is focused on the dielectric enhancement of polymer nanocomposites used in the field of energy storage devices. The results show that the core-shell structured approach for high dielectric constant materials incorporated in a polymer matrix improves the dielectric constant of the polymer composite.

The effect of plasticizer on dielectric properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/titanium dioxide (TiO2) composites was investigated. Propylene carbonate (PC) was used as plasticizer in the samples which were prepared with the conventional solvent casting technique. Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (SEM-EDX) and Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses and LCR Meter measurements (performed between 300 K and 400 K), were conducted to examine the properties of the composites. With the addition of plasticizer, the thermal properties have changed and the dielectric constant of the composite has increased significantly. The glass transition temperature of pure PMMA measured 121.7°C and this value did not change significantly with the addition of TiO2, however, 112°C was measured in the sample with the addition 4 ml of PC. While the dielectric constant of pure PMMA was 3.64, the ε′ value increased to 5.66 with the addition of TiO2 and reached 12.6 with the addition of 4 ml PC. These changes have been attributed to increase in amorphous ratio that facilitates polymer dipolar and segmental mobility.

Ceramics of (1-x)CaCu3Ti4O12-xBi2/3Cu3Ti4O12, i.e., CCTO-BCTO, with x=0, 0.01, 0.1 and 0.25, respectively, were prepared via the conventional solid-state reaction. The phase structure of the ceramics was identified by X-ray diffraction. The microstructure of the sample was observed with scanning electron microscopy. Dielectric properties and impedance spectroscopy were measured using a LCR Meter, in which 0.9CCTO-0.1BCTO displayed highest dielectric constant (584108) and lowest dielectric loss (0.42) at 1kHz among the four kinds of specimens. Based on series of experimental results, an optimum amount of x was able to improve the dielectric properties of CCTO-BCTO, through adjusting the impedance characteristics of the grain and grain boundary.

Ba[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text]TiO3 ceramics with or without ZnO have been prepared by traditional solid state reaction method. The XRD analysis showed that the doped Zn[Formula: see text] ions diffused into the BST crystal lattice, resulting in the variation of dielectric properties. Especially the dielectric constant at Curie point decreased with doping ZnO content when it is lower than 0.5[Formula: see text]mol%. Due to the promotion of sintering, doping ZnO can enhance the density of ceramics but increase grain size. However, ZnO is a kind of semiconductor and can lead to the decrease in electrical breakdown strength value.
