The characterization of ceramic/polymer composites was performed on zinc oxide/poly(vinylidene fluoride) – ZnO/PVDF and barium titanate/poly(vinylidene fluoride) composites with varying filler concentration in order to evaluate the main interactions responsible for the composite dielectric behavior. The materials, poly(vinylidene fluoride) and its composites, were melt-blended using a two-roller mixer and then hot-pressed. The permittivity of composites was enhanced compared with that of the pure poly(vinylidene fluoride) with the addition of 20 w/w% of ZnO particles. However, samples with 40 or 60 w/w% of ZnO registered a diminution in the real permittivity values which was connected to particle-matrix adhesion problems. On the other hand, barium titanate composites presented a more homogeneous morphology with less presence of voids and a better adhesion between the filler and the polymer, where real permittivity increased with the addition of barium titanate particles.

A new method based on a solution graft technique was used to prepare poly (vinylidene fluoride) grafted polystyrene sulfonated acid (PVDF-g-PSSA) proton exchange membrane. Polystyrene is grafted into PVDF modified by plain sodium silicate (Na4SiO4). There is a linear relationship between the degree of grafting and the content of Na4SiO4. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is used to characterize changes of the membrane's microstructures after grafting and sulfonation. The morphology of the membrane's microstructures after grafting and sulfonation is studied by scanning electrolytic microscope (SEM). The effect of plain sodium silicate (Na4SiO4) concentration and relative humidity on the conductivity of the electrolyte was investigated by the impedance at room temperature. The results show that the styrene has been grafted into PVDF. The conductivity of PVDF-g-PSSA electrolyte doped 10% plain sodium silicate (Na4SiO4) is 0.016 S/cm at room temperature. The conductivity of the electrolyte changes slightly at a relative humidity range of 20%-70%. The weightlessness of PVDF-g-PSSA electrolyte heated to 40°C was less than 2%, which indicated that water capacity was good.
