In this report, the electrical properties of plasma polymer films functionalized with ZnO nanoparticles were investigated with respect to their potential applications in biomaterials and microelectronics fields. The nanocomposite films were produced using a single-step method that combines simultaneous plasma polymerization of renewable geranium essential oil with thermal decomposition of zinc acetylacetonate Zn(acac)2. The input power used for the deposition of composites were 10 W and 50 W, and the resulting composite structures were abbreviated as Zn/Ge 10 W and Zn/Ge 50 W, respectively. The electrical properties of pristine polymers and Zn/polymer composite films were studied in metal–insulator–metal structures. At a quantity of ZnO of around ~1%, it was found that ZnO had a small influence on the capacitance and dielectric constants of thus-fabricated films. The dielectric constant of films with smaller-sized nanoparticles exhibited the highest value, whereas, with the increase in ZnO particle size, the dielectric constant decreases. The conductivity of the composites was calculated to be in the in the range of 10−14–10−15 Ω−1 m−1, significantly greater than that for the pristine polymer, the latter estimated to be in the range of 10−16–10−17 Ω−1 m−1.

Highly Sensitive

Flexible strain sensors with superior flexibility and high sensitivity are critical to artificial intelligence. And it is favorable to develop highly sensitive strain sensors with simple and cost effective method. Here, we have prepared carbon nanotubes enhanced thermal polyurethane nanocomposites with good mechanical and electrical properties for fabrication of highly sensitive strain sensors. The nanomaterials have been prepared through simple but effective solvent evaporation method, and the cheap polyurethane has been utilized as main raw materials. Only a small quantity of carbon nanotubes with mass content of 5% has been doped into polyurethane matrix with purpose of enhancing mechanical and electrical properties of the nanocomposites. As a result, the flexible nanocomposite films present highly sensitive resistance response under external strain stimulus. The strain sensors based on these flexible composite films deliver excellent sensitivity and conformality under mechanical conditions, and detect finger movements precisely under different bending angles.

nanoand micro size Cu were employed separately and investigated comparatively. Different volume fraction of Cu was added into PVDF film in order to investigate the content of filler effect on the dielectric properties of polymer composites. XRD and SEM were used to analyze the crystalline phase and microstructure of the films. The results show that two sizes of Cu have the same peak features, and with the continuous increase of the content of Cu, it disperse better in PVDF. The dielectric constant (ε) of the composite containing 16 vol% micro-CCTO filler is 16 at 100 Hz and room temperature, and its dielectric loss (tanδ) is only 0.15, which is substantially better than others. Besides, for 18 vol% nanoCu/PVDF composite tanδis 0.25 andεis 18 at 100 Hz. Moreover,εand tanδof nanoCu/PVDF composite are both higher than those of micro-Cu/PVDF. Analysis shows that the composites with nanoCu have higher dielectric constants, which is mainly from the interfacial polarization.

ABSTRACTFerroelectric BaTiO3 thin films have been directly deposited on n-GaAs with carrier concentration of 5.3–8.2×1017/cm2. The BaTiO3 thin films with a thickness in the range of 80–120 nm were prepared by RF magnetron sputtering with a substrate temperature of 300°C. The as-deposited BaTiO3 films appeared to be amorphous with relative dielectric constants of around 15 and gave flat capacitance-voltage (C-V) curves, indicating poor interface properties and very high oxide charge density. After rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at 800°C for 60 sec, the relative dielectric constant of the BaTiO3 film increased to 82 and a sharp C-V curve was observed with oxide charge density of about 7×1012/cm2. However, the leakage current density increased from 4×10'11 A/cm2 for as-deposited BaTiO3 to 2×105 A/cm2 for RTA(800°C)-BaTiO3 at a field of 4×105 V/cm. By taking advantage of the best properties from both as-deposited amorphous BaTiO3 films (low leakage current density) and RTA(800°C)-BaTiO3 (high dielectric constant) the double layer structure was designed to enhance the electrical properties of the BaTiO3 films on GaAs. The most promising results in regards to the dielectric property and leakage current density are 76.5 and 9.7×109 A/cm2, respectively, for the double layer RTA(500°C)-BaTiO3 on RTA(800°C)-BaTiO3 structures.

Calcium titanate powder was successfully prepared from duck eggshell and anatase titanium dioxide with a magnesium inductant via combustion synthesis in argon. As-combusted products were leached with diluted HCl. In XRD analysis, as-leached powders exhibited a major phase of CaTiO3 with a perovskite structure. The particle size, observed by SEM, was approximately 240 nm. As-leached powders were densified by single-step (SST) and two-step sintering (TSS) to produce calcium titanate ceramics. The first step of all TSS conditions was fixed at 1350C and holding times (t1) at this temperature were varied up to 120 min. Calcium titanate ceramic obtained from holding for 120 min had a grain size of 2.18 ?m, relative density of 86.68% and a dielectric constant of 92. Two-step sintered ceramic had the highest density (95.73%) and best dielectric properties (dielectric constant = 110, dielectric loss = 0.02) when the holding temperature (T2) was 1250?C. Calcium titanate ceramics processed by two-step sintering had denser microstructures and higher dielectric constants than single-step sintered ceramic due to grain boundary diffusion and the simplicity of relaxation polarization.

ABSTRACTComposites between ferroelectric material and a dispersed metal phase are of great interest due to the improvement in dielectric properties for such applications as high capacitance capacitors, non-volatile memory, ect. Using a colloidal method, Pt particles with a size of 3–5 nm were dispersed homogeneously in a PZT (PbZr0.53Ti0.43O3) matrix. No unwanted reaction phase between PZT and Pt during sintering at 1150 °C could be detected by X-ray diffraction. Electrical properties were investigated by impedance spectroscopy measurement. The effective dielectric constant increased remarkably as a power function of Pt volume content and can be described by the percolation theory. At 25 vol.% of Pt the dielectric constant of the composite is 4 times larger than that of pure PZT. The temperature dependence of the electrical properties is also influenced by the metallic phase fraction.

Polyimide-Al2O3 nanocomposite films were prepared via simple mechanical blending of Polyimide and surface modified Al2O3, and Polyimide-TiO2 nanocomposite films were prepared by the polymerization process of adding tetrabutyl orthotitanate (TBOT) and the coupling agent isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane (ICTOS) in polyimide. The three layers nanocomposite films were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The homogeneous dispersion is observed by the SEM when the concentration of Al2O3 is low. The electrical properties of the nanocomposite films were investigated as a function of the concentration of the Al2O3 nanoparticles. The results show that the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss (tan δ) of these films increased with the increase of the content of silica particles.

Polymeric materials have many applications in multiple industries. In this paper, silicon nitride nanoparticles (Si3N4) were incorporated into a polyimide (PI) matrix to obtain composite films via the in situ polymerization method. The Si3N4 nanoparticles were consistently scattered in the composites, and the thickness of PI/Si3N4 films was around 50 µm. The effects of nanoparticle content on the dielectric constant, loss tangent and breakdown strength were simultaneously studied. A 3 wt.% doped PI/Si3N4 film revealled excellent dielectric properties, a dielectric constant (ε) of 3.62, a dielectric loss tangent (tanδ) of 0.038, and a breakdown strength of 237.42 MV/m. The addition of Si3N4 formed an interface layer inside PI, resulting in a large amount of space charge polarization in the electric field. The space charge of materials from the microscopic point of view was analyzed. The results show that there are trapenergy levels in the composites, which can be used as a composite carrier center and transport channel, effectively improving the performance of a small amount of nanoparticles film.
