TEOS surface modification of CLST ceramic particles for PTFE-based composites

PTFE-based ceramic-polymer dielectric composites have been widely researched in the communication field due to their good processing, wide range frequency and temperature stability and being able to provide tunable dielectric constant in a scale. In order to improve the compatibility between the ceramic fillers and polymer matrix without damage of dielectric properties, surface modifiers with less carbon remain are preferred. In this paper, tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) is employed as a surface modifier to improve the compatibility between the (Ca, Li, Sm)TiO₃ (CLST) ceramic and PTFE, and the dispersion of the ceramic particles in the matrix. FTIR, XPS and TEM results indicate that TEOS is coated on the ceramic particles successfully and forms a silica coating layer. The surface modification improves the dispersion of particles in PTFE and interface contact between the ceramic fillers and PTFE matrix. These improve the thermal stability and reduce the dielectric loss of the dielectric composites. The CLST/PTFE composite modified by TEOS exhibits a dielectric constant of 6.22 with dielectric loss just 0.0012 at microwave frequencies (around 10 GHz).     

Dependence of dielectric properties on the crystallinity of ceramic/polymer composites

Effects of ZnNb(2)O(6) content and crystallinity of polymers on the dielectric properties of ZnNb(2)O(6)/polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS) composites were investigated at microwave frequencies. With increasing ZnNb(2)O(6) content, the dielectric constant (K) of the composites increased, whereas the dielectric loss (tanδ) and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency (TCF) decreased. The tanδ of the composites with amorphous PS was lower than those of the composites with semi-crystalline PP and PTFE. For the composites with semi-crystalline PTFE and PP, the tanδ was strongly dependent on the degree of crystallinity of composites. Several types of theoretical models were applied to predict the effective dielectric properties of the composites. Typically, K of 5.73, tan δ of 1.45 x 10(-3), and TCF of 2.66 ppm/°C were obtained for the PP composites with 0.5 volume fraction V(f) of ZnNb(2)O(6).     

Microstructure and dielectric properties of BST/MZO ceramic composites for tunable microwave applications

Ba_0.6Sr_0.4TiO₃/Mg_0.9Zn_0.1O (BST/MZO) ceramic composites with different MZO contents were prepared by traditional ceramic process. The crystal structure, fracture surface morphology, and dielectric properties were systematically investigated. The results show that the BST/MZO ceramic composites possess diphase structure, dense, and uniform morphology. The composites have relatively low dielectric loss (in the order of 10⁻³) at microwave frequency. The ceramics all retain substantial tunability (more than 20% at 8 kV/mm DC field) and excellent dielectric strength (more than 19.5 kV/mm). The BST-50 wt% MZO sample has the optimal FOM value (about 256) and should be a better candidate for tunable microwave applications.

Effect of coupling agent on the thermal and dielectric properties of PTFE/Sm2Si2O7 composites

The present study investigates the dielectric and thermal properties of PTFE/Sm₂Si₂O₇ composites. The composites were prepared by powder processing technique followed by hot pressing. The variation of the dielectric properties with filler content (0–0.5 V_f) was studied at 1 MHz and 9 GHz. The filler surface was chemically modified using phenyl trimethoxy silane (PTMS) as a coupling agent. The microstructural study using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the particles were well dispersed in the matrix when coupled with PTMS. The surface modification led to an improvement in the dielectric properties. The PTFE filled with 0.4 V_f silane treated Sm₂Si₂O₇ composite showed a low dielectric loss of 0.0054 and slightly higher relative permittivity of 3.92 when compared with the untreated composite of the same composition. The experimental values of relative permittivities were compared with the theoretical predictions and the Effective Medium Theory was found to agree well even for higher content of silane treated filler. It was found that the addition of silane coupling agent is very effective in improving the thermal properties of the PTFE/Sm₂Si₂O₇ composites.

Dielectric properties of BSTO/MgO ceramic composites

Ba_0.55Sr_0.45TiO₃/MgO ceramic composites with 50wt% MgO content were studied in terms of the phase distribution, microstructure and electric properties, prepared by traditional ceramic process-solid phase synthesis. The results show that a small amount of Mg²⁺ ions have entered BSTO lattices to substitute for Ti⁴⁺ and behave as electron acceptors, contributing to the decrease of the dielectric loss. Ba_0.55 Sr_0.45TiO₃/MgO composites in the paraelectric state at room temperature still have a high tunability because of a field-induced hardening of the soft phonon and the presence of micro- or nano-polar phases in the paraelectric phase. For Ba_0.55Sr_0.45TiO₃/MgO ceramic composites, the microwave loss at 2.5 GHz is 7.1 × 10⁻³ and the value of tunability is 13.8% with the external DC field 4 kV ⋅ mm⁻¹. It can basically meet the requirements of phase shifters working at microwave frequencies. The phase shift of 122^∘ was obtained at 9.2 GHz using the designed phase shifter with the bias voltage 2 kV ⋅ mm⁻¹.
