Fabrication and studying the dielectric properties of (polystyrene-copper oxide) nanocomposites for piezoelectric application

Abstract

The preparation of (polystyrene-copper oxide) nanocomposites have been investigated for piezoelectric application. The copper oxide nanoparticles were added to polystyrene by different concentrations are (0, 4, 8 and 12) wt.%. The structural and A.C electrical properties of (PS-CuO) nanocomposites were studied. The results showed that the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of (PS-CuO) nanocomposites decrease with increase in frequency. The A.C electrical conductivity increases with increase in frequency. The dielectric constant, dielectric loss and A.C electrical conductivity of polystyrene increase with increase in copper oxide nanoparticles concentrations. The results of piezoelectric application showed that the electrical resistance of (PS-CuO) nanocomposites decreases with increase in pressure.

Structural, Dielectric, and Optical Properties for (PVA/PVP/CuO) Nanocomposites for Pressure Sensors

“…The enhancement of electrical conductivity with rising frequency indicates the charge carriers presence transported by hopping through defect sites along the polymeric chain [25]. The increase in conductivity with rising of CuO NPs ratios can be related to raise the charge carriers in (PVA-PVP) blend [26].…”

Fabrication of Pressure Sensor Using Electrospinning Method for Robotic Tactile Sensing Application

“…Observing piezoelectric properties in non-piezoelectric material is a fairly new concept, for instance, D. Hassan, et al demonstrated piezoelectricity using polystyrene-copper oxide (PS-CuO) nano composites. The study suggested that the (PS-CuO) nanocomposites are highly sensitive for pressure and the electrical resistance of nanocomposites decreases with the increase in pressure [ 23 ]. Similarly, Y. Ishii, et al demonstrated the piezoelectric properties in polystyrene polymers ( Figure 1 b) and explored the origin of the piezoelectric response.…”

Structural and Optical Properties of (PMMA/ZrO/Ag) New Nanocomposites for Optoelectronics and UV Detectors Applications

“…The composites and nanocomposites have huge applications as humidity sensors [28][29][30][31][32], radiation shielding [33][34][35][36][37][38], antibacterial [39,41] and thermal energy storage and release [42][43][44][45][46]. The adding of biomaterial, micro-or nanoparticles to the polymer or polymer blend aims to improve in optical properties [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54], dielectric and electrical properties [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62]. The aims of current paper, a study the impact of silver (Ag) nanoparticles on structural and optical of (PMMA-ZrO 2 ) nanocomposites.…”
