Fabrication of highly refractive barium‐titanate‐incorporated polyimide nanocomposite films with high permittivity and thermal stability

Abstract

Crystalline nanoparticles of barium titanate (BT) are incorporated into polyimide (PI) to fabricate highly refractive, anti‐UV‐degradable nanocomposite films with high permittivity and thermal stability. For homogeneous incorporation of BT nanoparticles into the PI matrix, the BT nanoparticles are surface modified by phthalimide with the aid of a silane coupling agent as a scaffold. The PI nanocomposites are prepared by in situ polymerization in which a diphthalic anhydride and a diamine are used to form the PI matrix in the presence of the surface‐modified nanoparticles. The refractive index of the transparent nanocomposite films reaches 1.85 at a nanoparticle content of 59 vol% with a high dielectric constant of ε = 37 and thermal stability up to 460 °C.

Transparent and flexible films of new segmented polyurethane nanocomposites incorporated by NH2-functionalized TiO2 nanoparticles

“…So far, surface modified nano-TiO 2 particles have been widely used in the field of polymer-based nanocomposites [14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. The most research activities have been focused on the surface modification of nano-TiO 2 using silane coupling agents such as 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS) [21][22][23][24][25]. Nevertheless, organic isocyanates seem to be good alternatives for silane coupling agents.…”
