High permittivity polymer-ceramic nanocomposite dielectric films take advantage of the ease of flexibility in processing of polymers and the functionality of electroactive ceramic fillers. Hence, films like these may be applied to embedded energy storage devices for printed circuit electrical boards. However, the incompatibility of the hydrophilic ceramic filler and hydrophobic epoxy limit the filler concentration and therefore, dielectric permittivity of these materials. Traditionally, surfactants and core-shell processing of ceramic fillers are used to achieve electrostatic and steric stabilization for adequate ceramic particle distribution but, questions regarding these processes still remain. The purpose of this work is to understand the role of surfactant concentration ceramic particle surface morphology, and composite dielectric permittivity and conductivity. A comprehensive study of barium titanate-based epoxy nanocomposites was performed. Ethanol and 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilan surface treatments were performed, where the best reduction in particle agglomeration, highest value of permittivity and the lowest value of loss were observed. The results demonstrate that optimization of coupling agent may lead to superior permittivity values and diminished losses that are ~2–3 times that of composites with non-optimized and traditional surfactant treatments.

Polymer-ceramic nanocomposite piezoelectric and dielectric films are of interest because of their possible application to advanced embedded energy storage devices for printed wired electrical boards. The incompatibility of the two constituent materials; hydrophilic ceramic filler, and hydrophobic epoxy limit the filler concentration, and thus, their piezoelectric properties. This work aims to understand the role of surfactant concentration in establishing meaningful interfacial layers between the epoxy and ceramic filler particles by observing particle surface morphology, piezoelectric strain coefficients, and resistivity spectra. A comprehensive study of nanocomposites, comprising non-treated and surface treated barium titanate (BTO), embedded within an epoxy matrix, was performed. The surface treatments were performed with two types of coupling agents: Ethanol and 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilan. The observations of particle agglomeration, piezoelectric strain coefficients, and resistivity were compared, where the most ideal properties were found for concentrations of 0.02 and 0.025. This work demonstrates that the interfacial core-shell processing layer concentration influences the macroscopic properties of nanocomposites, and the opportunities for tuning interfacial layers for desirable characteristics of specific applications.

In the present study, dielectric and microwave absorbing properties of barium titanate (BaTiO3) and strontium ferrite (SrFe12O19) filled thermoplastic polyurethane composites were investigated. The variations of the dielectric parameters of the BaTiO3 filled composite samples with filler concentration were also modeled and simulated by the power-law model to predict dielectric coefficients of the samples for higher filler concentrations. Comparing the prediction of the Power-law model and experimental measured dielectric values indicate that the Power-law model predicts dielectric parameters of the composite with acceptable accuracy. Microwave absorption analyses of the composite samples showed that SrFe12O19 is more effective than BaTiO3 on the enhancement of microwave absorption capability of TPU. The hybrid composite samples that contained both SrFe12O19 and BaTiO3 were also prepared, and their microwave absorption performance was evaluated. It was observed that much lower RL values than that of the composite samples, which were filled SrFe12O19 or BaTiO3 could be obtained by the hybrid composites. However, absorption bandwidth of them was narrower than counterparts that contained the same amount of SrFe12O19.

Polymer-ceramic nanocomposites with controlled dielectric properties are prepared using poly(dimethylsiloxane) elastomer as base matrix and barium titanate as filler. Barium titanate (BaTiO3) used in this study is prepared by solid state reaction at high temperature. The effect of BaTiO3 nanoparticles on electrical and mechanical properties are extensively studied and found that dielectric constant of nanocomposites increases significantly with the increase in BaTiO3 concentration where as volume resistivity decreases continuously. Different mechanical properties are also studied for all the composites in order to find the effect of filler concentration. Morphology of the prepared BaTiO3 was studied by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM).

We report a strategy for preparing barium titanate precursor, being the composite of titanate nanosheets (TN) with barium ions (Ba-TN), which subjected to step sintering allows obtaining TiO2 rich barium titanate ceramics of stoichiometry BaTi4O9 or Ba2Ti9O20. These compounds are important in modern electronics due to their required dielectric properties and grains’ size that can be preserved in nanometric range. The morphology studies, structural characterization, and dielectric investigations were performed simultaneously in each step of Ba-TN calcinations in order to properly characterize type of obtained ceramic, its grains’ morphology, and dielectric properties. The Ba-TN precursor can be sintered at given temperatures, so that its dielectric permittivity can be tuned between 25 and 42 with controlled temperature coefficients that change from negative 32 ppm/°C for Ba-TN sintered at 900°C up to positive 37 ppm/°C after calcination at 1300°C. XRD analysis and Raman investigations performed for the Ba-TN in the temperature range of 900÷1250°C showed that below 1100°C we obtained as a main phase BaTi4O9, whereas the higher calcinations temperature transformed Ba-TN into Ba2Ti9O20. Taking into account trend of device miniaturization and nanoscopic size requirements, temperatures of 900°C and 1100°C seem to be an optimal condition for Ba-TN precursor calcinations that guarantee the satisfactory value of dielectric permittivity (ε=26 and 32) and ceramic grains with a mean size of ~180 nm and ~550 nm, respectively.

The dielectric response of 10 and 15phr epoxy/HfO2 nanocomposite systems has been studied in a wide frequency and temperature range. The experimental results show an enhancement of the dielectric permittivity with increasing filler concentration. The dielectric spectra reveal the presence of α-relaxation and a weak MWS effect. In the high frequency range the real part of the electrical conductivity obeys the Universal Dielectric Response (UDR), whereas at low frequencies and high temperatures DC conductivity is observed. VFT (Vogel-Fulcher-Tamann) parameters are calculated for all measured specimens.
