Abstract Full text About this article

Dielectric composites made using P(VDF-CTFE) 88/12 mol% as polymer matrix and both micro-sized and nano-sized CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) particles as filler are developed. These composites exhibit high dielectric constant with a small dielectric loss. More importantly, it is found that the dielectric constant of these composites is almost independent of temperature from 25 ℃ to 125 ℃. Comparing the composites made using micro-sized CCTO particles, the composites made using nano-sized CCTO particles exhibit a smaller dielectric loss. The dielectric properties of these composites indicate that the nano-sized CCTO particles have a smaller dielectric constant than the micro-sized CCTO particles.

Abstract

Dielectric composites made using P(VDF-CTFE) 88/12 mol% as polymer matrix and both micro-sized and nano-sized CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) particles as filler are developed. These composites exhibit high dielectric constant with a small dielectric loss. More importantly, it is found that the dielectric constant of these composites is almost independent of temperature from 25 ℃ to 125 ℃. Comparing the composites made using micro-sized CCTO particles, the composites made using nano-sized CCTO particles exhibit a smaller dielectric loss. The dielectric properties of these composites indicate that the nano-sized CCTO particles have a smaller dielectric constant than the micro-sized CCTO particles.
