Polymer dielectric materials are extensively used in electronic devices. To enhance the dielectric constant, ceramic fillers with high dielectric constant have been widely introduced into polymer matrices. However, to obtain high permittivity, a large added amount (>50 vol%) is usually needed. With the aim of improving dielectric properties with low filler content, satellite–core-structured Fe2O3@BaTiO3 (Fe2O3@BT) nanoparticles were fabricated as fillers for a poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (P(VDF-HFP)) matrix. The interfacial polarization effect is increased by Fe2O3 nanoparticles, and thus, composite permittivity is enhanced. Besides, the satellite–core structure prevents Fe2O3 particles from directly contacting each other, so that the dielectric loss remains relatively low. Typically, with 20 vol% Fe2O3@BT nanoparticle fillers, the permittivity of the composite is 31.7 (1 kHz), nearly 1.8 and 3.0 times that of 20 vol% BT composites and pure polymers, respectively. Nanocomposites also achieve high breakdown strength (>150 KV/mm) and low loss tangent (~0.05). Moreover, the composites exhibited excellent flexibility and maintained good dielectric properties after bending. These results demonstrate that composite films possess broad application prospects in flexible electronics.

AbstractA novel all-polymeric material with high dielectric constant (k) has been developed by blending poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) with polyacrylamide (PAM). The dependence of the dielectric constant on frequency and polymer volume fraction was investigated. When the weight fraction of PAM is 1wt%, the dielectric constant of the blend could be up to 24, and the dielectric loss tanδ can be lowered to 0.06. The SEM investigations suggest that the enhanced dielectric behavior originates from significant interfacial interactions of polymer-polymer. XRD and FTIR demonstrate that blending PAM with PVDF affects the crystalline behavior of each component. Our finding suggests that the created high-k polymeric blends represent a novel type of material that are flexible and easy to process, and is of relatively high dielectric constant and high breakdown strength; moreover find applications as flexible electronics.

In this work, poly(1-butene) (PB-1) composite films with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were prepared by a solution casting method. The relationship between the dielectric properties and the crystal transformation process of the films was investigated. It was indicated that there were two crystal forms of I and II of PB-1 during the solution crystallization process. With the prolongation of the phase transition time, form II was converted into form I. The addition of the conductive filler (MWCNT) accelerated the rate of phase transformation and changed the nucleation mode of PB-1. The presence of crystal form I in the system increased the breakdown strength and the dielectric constant of the films and reduced the dielectric loss, with better stability. In addition, the dielectric constant and the dielectric loss of the MWCNT/PB-1 composite films increased with the addition of MWCNT, due to the interfacial polarization between MWCNT and PB-1 matrix. When the mass fraction of the MWCNT was 1.0%, the composite film had a dielectric constant of 43.9 at 25 °C and 103 Hz, which was 20 times that of the original film.

A novel all-polymeric material with high dielectric constant (k) has been developed by blending poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) with polyamide-6 (PA6). The dependence of the dielectric properties on frequency and polymer volume fraction was investigated. When the volume fraction of PA6 is 20%, the dielectric property is better than others. The SEM investigations suggest that the enhanced dielectric behavior originates from significant interfacial interactions of polymer-polymer. The XRD demonstrate that the PA6 and PVDF affect the crystalline behavior of each component. Furthermore, the stable dielectric constants of the blends could be tuned by adjusting the content of the polymers. The created high-k all-polymeric blends represent a novel type of material that are simple technology and easy to process, and is of relatively high dielectric constant, applications as flexible electronics.

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based composites attract tremendous attention as dielectric materials. However, their development has been limited due to the raised problem in the in-homogeneous polymer composites. In this work, a novel PVDF-based film incorporated with polyamide-1, containing the highest density of dipole among all polyamides, was prepared to improve the crystallization behaviors and dielectric properties. The results showed that the optimal concentration of polyamide-1 in PVDF was 6 wt.%. The crystallization rate of PVDF was improved in the presence of polyamide-1. Interestingly, the polyamide-1 was conductive to the formation of β form crystal of PVDF, which exhibited great electric performance. The dielectric constant of PVDF increased sharply and loss tangent still kept at a low level of 0.03@100 Hz when the concentration of polyamide-1 was 6 wt.%. This work may provide a new direction to design dielectric materials for PVDF blends.

Abstract The main focus of this study is to investigate the effect of gamma irradiation on the electrical properties of PVDF/BT nanocomposites. A 1.25 MeV gamma-ray was delivered to the composite films with different BaTiO3-volume fraction, ƒBT = 0–0.4, and with different absorbed doses ranged 50–2500 Gy. Dielectric properties of PVDF/BaTiO3 composites under frequencies ranged from 100 Hz to 10 MHz at room temperature were investigated using an impedance analyser. An increase of 28% in the dielectric constant and a decrease of 15% in the loss tangent were observed in the PVDF/BT 40 vol% nanocomposite film under the accumulated dose of 1500 Gy. Scanning electron microscopy provided no significant difference in microscopic structures between non-exposed and gamma-exposed materials. Fourier-transform infra-red spectroscopy provides gamma-induced transition of PVDF-crystalline forms as alpha-PVDF into beta-PVDF/gamma-PVDF which has been reported as one of the main factors affected the change of dielectric constant in polymers. UV–visible spectrophotometry has been observed gamma-induced red shift in the absorption edge of the PVDF/BT 40 vol% nanocomposite film from 400 nm to 420 nm under the accumulated dose of 1500 Gy. However, a blue shift is observed with increase the accumulated dose up to 2000 Gy.

In this paper, homogeneous polystyrene (PS) microspheres with controllable sizes of 40 nm, 80 nm, and 120 nm were synthesized by controlling the temperature of solvothermal method. In order to explore the effect of PS microspheres on dielectric-hydrophobic properties of the composite films, the composite films containing polystyrene, Polydimethylsiloxane, and P(VDF-TrFE) with high dielectric and hydrophobicity were successfully prepared by a simple and feasible solution blending method. The dielectric constant and hydrophobicity of composite films were boosted by increasing the mass fraction of PS content and decreasing the size of PS due to the enhanced interfacial polarization and the uniform surface micro bulge structure. Meanwhile, the composite films maintain a low loss tangent. Typically, the dielectric constant with 5 wt.% 40 nm PS reached to 29 at 100Hz, which is 4 times that of PDMS/P(VDF-TrFE) (mass ratio: 2/3). Otherwise, the largest the contact angle of 126° in the same composition was remarkably larger than the pure PDMS/P(VDF-TrFE) (110°). These improved properties have more potential applications in the electric wetting devices.

In this article, epoxy-based dielectric materials for solid insulator were investigated. First, epoxy-based polymeric samples with different permittivities were prepared by incorporating a mixture of two fillers (Al2O3 and SrTiO3) into epoxy matrix. Then, dielectric properties were characterized for the epoxy-based samples by using a dielectric spectrometer with varied frequency. Finally, breakdown tests were performed under AC voltage to characterize the breakdown strength of the dielectric material. Results indicated that the permittivity (dielectric constant) of epoxy-based materials can be adjusted only by changing the mixing ratio of two types of fillers. On the other hand, the obtained dielectric materials showed acceptable breakdown strength with the present amounts of fillers.

The surface hydroxylation treatment has been carried out by using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) to modify the surface of Na[Formula: see text]Bi[Formula: see text]TiO3 (NBT) particles in a ferroelectric polymer (PVDF) via solution casting technique. The FTIR study confirms the presence of hydroxyl groups on the surface of NBT. The FE-SEM analysis reveals that h-NBT particles are dispersed homogeneously within the polymer matrix. The surface hydroxylation treatment plays an important role in high dielectric constant and also reduced loss by conducting the material surface with [Formula: see text]OH functional groups. The prepared composite with 40[Formula: see text]wt.% of h-NBT showed enhanced dielectric constant ([Formula: see text]114), negligible loss (0.22) and high AC conductivity as compared to that of the unmodified NBT. Such significant enhancement in dielectric properties may be due to the strong interaction between h-NBT particles and PVDF matrix at the interface. The percolation theory is used to explain the dielectric properties of h-NBT-PVDF composite. Furthermore, the remnant polarization of the un-poled h-NBT-PVDF composites (2[Formula: see text]Pr–1.19[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]C/cm2 for 40[Formula: see text]wt.% of h-NBT) is also improved. The present findings give an idea of high dielectric constant and relatively low loss composite materials as a promising candidate for electronic and energy storage devices.

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.
