Frequency dependent dielectric, modulus, impedance and AC conductivity study of Poly Vinyl Alcohol with 25 vol.% of Yttrium modified Barium Zirconium Titanate ceramic have been investigated. The single phase Yttrium modified Barium Zirconium Titanate ceramics have been synthesized by conventional solid state route. The relaxation mechanism of dielectric and modulus study is due to the segmental motion of polymer chain along with the dipole orientation of ceramic in the polymer composite. The Nyquist plot of impedance shows two semicircles, which represents the bulk and interfacial effect of polymer composites. The activation energy decreases with incorporation of higher Yttrium modified Barium Zirconium Titanate ceramics in the polymer matrix due to the even distribution of ceramic in the polymer composite. The different activation energy obtained from conduction and relaxation of the composite indicates that various mechanisms are involved in the conduction and relaxation process.
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.
