Enhanced dielectric properties of filled PVDF/MgO polymer nanocomposite / Adillah Nurashikin Arshad
PVDF and PVDF/MgO nanocomposite thin films (MgO loading percentages 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 .wt%) were produced by spin coating on Al-glass substrates at 1500rpm. PVDF thin films were annealed subsequently at 70°C, 90°C, 110°C, 130°C, 150°C and 170°C, and then were cooled by fast cooling (FC) and slow...

PVDF thin films were annealed subsequently at 70°C, 90°C, 110°C, 130°C, 150°C and 170°C, and then were cooled by fast cooling (FC) and slow cooling (SC). PVDF thin films annealed at 70°C with SC resulted an increment in the dielectric constant from 10 (UNPVDF) to 14 at 1 kHz frequency with low tangent loss of 0.05 (UN-PVDF = 0.1). An increased in the resistivity value of 3.2x10⁴ Ω.cm (UN-PVDF = 2.0x10⁴ Ω.cm) was also observed.
