The influence of TiO2 nano powder on the electrical properties and microstructure of TiO2 ceramics was studied. The results showed that nano additive reduces the size of TiO2 grain. The results also showed that the breakdown voltage and nonlinear constant of the samples were improved and the dielectric constant was reduced by doping nano-titania. An optimal composition dopant with 6 mol% nano-titania exhibited a low breakdown voltage of 11.3 V/mm, a nonlinear coefficient of 5.5, an ultrahigh relative dielectric constant of 7.11×104 and relatively low loss of 0.28.

The present work attempted to investigate the effect of Nb addition on the electrical properties of the (Ca,Si,Ce,Nb)-doped TiO2 ceramics. The content of added niobium is in the range 0.1-1.0mol %, while that of the other additives keeps constant. The results showed that an optimal composition doped with 0.8mol% Nb2O5, followed by sintering at 1350°C, was obtained with low V1 mA of 7.22V, high nonlinear coefficient of 5.76, ultrahigh dielectric constant (er = 86000) as well as relatively low loss (tgd = 0.52) in room temperature at 1 kHz. SEM studies show that change of niobium had significant influence on grain growth and micro structural characteristics of the sintered samples.

The nonlinear electrical properties of TiO2-based varistor doped with 0.25mol% Ta2O5 and different contents of Sc2O3 were investigated. It was found that the TiO2 varistor ceramic doped with 0.10mol% Sc2O3 exhibited an optimal nonlinear coefficient of 7.8, a breakdown electrical field of 16.0V/mm, and relative dielectric constant of 1.27 × 105 (measured at 1 kHz). In order to analyze the effect of Sc2O3 on TiO2 varistors, studies were made on the capacitance versus voltage characteristics. A Schottky-type barrier, which is assumed as the origin of varistor behavior, was inferred from the C-V measurement. The barrier height and donor concentration were obtained as 0.41eV and 1.21 × 1026cm-3, respectively, for sample doped with 0.10mol% Sc2O3. Analogized to the ZnO varistors, the formation mechanism of Schottky-type barrier was discussed in this paper by the theory of defect in crystal lattice.

WO3-based varistors doped with Y2O3 were prepared and the microstructure, nonlinear electrical properties, and dielectric properties were investigated. Breakdown voltages Eb of WO3 doped with Y2O3 are lower than that of undoped WO3, indicating that the dopant can reduce the breakdown voltage. The dielectric constant of doped samples is higher than that of undoped samples, and the high dielectric constant makes them suitable as capacitor-varistor materials. It was found that the sample of WO3-0.5 mol% Y2O3 sintered at 1150 °C has an optimal nonlinear coefficient of 3.4 and a breakdown voltage of 17.1 V/mm. WO3 ceramic doped with Y2O3 is a new kind of low voltage capacitor-varistor material.

ABSTRACTMoisture absorption and its effect on electrical properties were measured for several polyimides. A Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) was used to investigate the moisture absorption in BPDA/PPD, PMDA/ODA, and BTDA//ODA/MPD polyimides. The steady-state moisture uptake in polyimides as a function of relative humidity (RH) was determined by exposing film samples to successively higher RH values ranging from 10 to 85% at 25°C. The isothermal moisture absorption as a function of percent RH was found to be nearly linear for all of the polyimides studied. The effect of moisture on the electrical properties of a BPDA/PPD polyimide was also investigated. The relative dielectric constant at 25 °C was found to be a linear function of the moisture absorbed.

MnCO3, CuO, NiO and Fe2O3 doped SrTiO3 multifunction ceramics were fabricated firstly. The microstructure and electrical properties were investigated. The results show that MnCO3 doped ceramic and CuO doped ceramic possess relative higher resistivity (ρ),nonlinear coefficient (α), varistor voltage (V1mA) and relative lower dielectric constant (ε),dielectric loss (tgδ) in contrast with NiO doped ceramic and Fe2O3 doped ceramic with the same contents under the same sintering conditions. The electrical properties among the ceramics doped are different due to the different behaviors of Mn,Cu,Ni and Fe acceptor dopants during the sintering course.

This article presents the effects of toluene diisocyanate (TDI) on electrical properties of ester epoxy alkyd varnish. Through testing on breakdown voltage, dielectric constant, block resistivity, Tang (Tg) dielectric loss, the electrical properties of varnish were investigated. When TDI amount increased from to 4 - 10 (w/100w of epoxy resin), the breakdown voltage increased from 21.78 to 65.69 KV/mm. With TDI of 8 - 10 w/w, the dielectric constant was the best, about 2.78 - 3.02. With TDI of 8 w/w, the block resistivity was 6.8.1014 W.cm and Tg dielectric loss was 0.0069. The article also presents the effect of TDI on solvent- and heat resistance of the varnish.

The microstructure and nonlinear electrical behavior and dielectric properties of the varistor, which are composed of (Y2O3, Ta2O5)-doped TiO2 ceramics, were investigated for various sintering temperatures. It is assumed that the moderate sintering temperature improves the permitivity of TiO2 ceramics, together with high nonlinear properties. The varistor of 99.6 mol%-0.3 mol%Y2O3-0.1 nol%Ta2O5 composite sintered at 1400 °C has a maximal nonlinear coefficient of α =4.4, a low breakdown voltage of 10.8 V/mm, the ultrahigh electrical permittivity of 7.73× 104 and low tanδ of 0.34. The sintering temperature plays an important an important role on the nonlinear electrical characteristics and dielectric properties of the ceramics through its influences on the microstructure of samples.

(1-x)SnO2-xZn2SnO4composite ceramics were prepared by traditional ceramic processing and the varistor, dielectric properties were investigated. With increasing Zn2SnO4content, the breakdown electrical fieldEBand nonlinear coefficientαreaches the minimum of 6.9 V/mm and 2.5 at x=0.206, respectively. In the dielectric spectra, the relative dielectric constantεrexhibits strong frequency dependent character and at 40 Hz,εrfor the sample of x=0.206 reaches a maximum as high as 3×104. In the frequency region lower than 1 kHz, accompanied by the sharp increase of dielectric loss at 40 Hz,εris depressed and a dielectric peak is presented in the spectra with increasing bias voltage. In the low electrical current range of 1.37-20 μA, The barrier heightφBabout 1.0 eV are obtained and it is found thatφBdecreases with increasing measuring current for each sample. Based on the results, the varistor behavior with high dielectric constant is explained by the Schottky barriers at grain boundaries.

In order to obtain the high dielectric constant and low loss materials by using the two main methods for synergy, the 3-phases TiO2/(PVDF+Fe3O4) composites with the fixed Fe3O4 fraction have been prepared by using a simple blending and hot-molding technique. The dielectric measurement results show that no synergistic effect but a cancellation effect has been found here, corresponding to the decrease of dielectric constant and conductivity. The value of the relative dielectric constant dropped to the original level of polymer matrix. The reasons for the counter result are present here. It is helpful and reference for the proper choice for multiphase composite system.

The effect of WO3 additions on the sintering ability and electrical properties of Pb(Zr0.95Ti0.05)O3 ferroelectric ceramics (PZT 95/5) was investigated. Pure and W-doped PZT 95/5 ceramics were prepared by the usual ceramic technique from raw oxides. The bulk density, microstructure, electrical properties of ceramics as a function of WO3 content were characterized. The results showed that the WO3 addition was benefit for the sintering densification of PZT, and the ceramics with 2.0 mol% WO3 addition exhibited the maximum value for the density (7.8 g/cm3) at a sintering temperature of 1250 °C. Moreover, piezoelectric constant (d33), relative dielectric constant (εr), dielectric loss (tanδ) and ferroelectric hysteresis loop of PZT 95/5 ceramics at the sintering temperature of 1250 °C all altered regularly with the change of WO3 doping level, whose optimum values were all obtained by doping 2.0 mol% WO3. The best values obtained for these parameters were: d33 = 65 pC/N, εr =314, tanδ = 0.028, Pr = 24.80 µC/cm2 and Ec = 1890 V/mm, respectively. These results show that tungsten doped Pb(Zr0.95Ti0.05)O3 ferroelectric ceramics can be hopefully used for the pulsed power devices.
