Dielectric properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) based nanocomposites filled with surface hydroxylated BaTiO(3) (h-BT) nanoparticles were reported. The h-BT fillers were prepared from crude BaTiO(3) (c-BT) in aqueous solution of H(2)O(2). Results showed that the dielectric properties of the h-BT/PVDF nanocomposites had weaker temperature and frequency dependences than that of c-BT/PVDF nanocomposites. Meanwhile, the h-BT/PVDF composites showed lower loss tangent and higher dielectric strength. It is suggested that the strong interaction between h-BT fillers and PVDF matrix is the main reason for the improved dielectric properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
