Studies on dielectric relaxation and ac conductivity of cellulose acetate hydrogen phthalate–poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) blend

The dielectric constant, dielectric loss, and ac conductivity of polyblends of cellulose acetate hydrogen phthalate (CAP) and poly (vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) of different compositions were measured in the temperature range of 300–430 K and in the frequency range of 50 Hz–100 kHz. In the blends, the dielectric constant as well as the dielectric loss as a function of the temperature display a single peak corresponding to the glass transition temperature (T_g) in the region between the T_g values of the pure polymers. The T_g values observed agree well with those values obtained from DSC. Dielectric studies show that CAP forms a miscible blend with PVP. Ac conductivity values were calculated from the dielectric data and the conduction mechanism is discussed. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 86: 1702–1708, 2002     

Fully aliphatic polyimides from adamantane‐based diamines for enhanced thermal stability,solubility, transparency,and low dielectric constant

We have synthesized a series of fully aliphatic polyimides (APIs) from bicyclo[2,2,2]oct‐7‐ene‐2,3,5,6‐tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BOCA) and various aliphatic diamines, including linear aliphatic, flexible alicyclic, and rigid adamantyl diamines. We performed the polymerization reactions using one‐step syntheses in m‐cresol at elevated temperatures without the isolation of poly(amic) acid. The chemical composition and structure of the polymers were characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and infrared (IR) spectrometry. The characterization data are reported from analyses using gel permeation chromatography (GPC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction (WXAD) measurements. The polyimides are also subjected to solubility, solution viscosity, tensile strength, transparency, and dielectric constant measurements. The resultant polyimides possess well‐controlled molecular weight, reasonable intrinsic viscosity, good transparency, enhanced solubility, low dielectric constants, and high glass transition temperature, together with marginal thermal and mechanical stability. These properties were enhanced in copolyimides containing equimolar amounts of rigid and flexible moieties. These rigid‐rod APIs derived from the alicyclic dianhydride and aliphatic diamines are promising candidates as advanced materials for future applications in micro‐ and photoelectronic devices. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Microstructures and Dielectric Properties of Pure and Doped KNbO3 Ceramics

Regions consisting of grains of pronounced cubic develpment exist in pure KNbO₃ ceramics which exhibit a temperature dependence of dielectric constant very similar to that of KNbO₃ crystals. KNbO₃ ceramics doped with GeO₂-K₂O additives have small grains, semiconducting resistance, and a different curve of dielectric constant versus temperature. As the average grain size decreases, the shape of the curve differs increasingly from that of KNbO₃ crystals.     

Measurement of AC conductivity and dielectric properties of flexible conductive styrene–butadiene rubber‐carbon black composites

Flexible conductive polymer composites were prepared using styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR) as a matrix and conductive carbon black as filler. The filler loading was varied from 10 to 60 phr. The effect of frequency, filler loading, temperature, and applied pressure on the AC conductivity, permittivity, and loss factor of the composites was studied. The AC conductivity of low and high loaded composites was found to be frequency dependent and independent respectively. The permittivity and the loss factor were continuously decreasing with increasing frequency. The increase in filler loading increased the AC conductivity, dielectric constant, and loss factor of the composites. Increase in temperature imposed increase in conductivity and permittivity of the composites. With increasing applied pressure the properties showed exponential increase. The effect of time under a constant compressive stress was studied and dielectric relaxation times were evaluated. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 104: 986–995, 2007

Relaxation and Dielectric Characteristics of Zn Substituted Copper-gallate Ferrite

The dielectric permittivities(ε'&ε")and dielectric loss tangent(tan)are studied for the prepared samples CuFe2O4 and Cu1-xZnxGa0.1 Fe1.9 O4 spinel ferrites with (0.0≤x≤0.5)from room temperature up to 700K in the frequency range(102～105Hz).Dielectric anomaly at the transition temperature Tc is pronounced in the relations of dielectric permittivitties with temperature where,the obtained Tc is found to decrease linearly with increasing Zn concentration.The relation of tan with frequency at different temperatures shows relaxation spectra where the relaxation time and the maximum frequency of the hopping conduction mechanism are determined.The variation of(ε',ε"and tanδ)with frequency and temperature displays a strong dependence on both gallium and zinc concentrations.The results are explained in light of the cation-anion-cation and cation-cation interactions over the octahedral sites in the spinel structure.

Effect of SiO2 addition on the dielectric properties and microstructure of BaTiO3-based ceramics in reducing sintering

The effect of SiO2 doping on the sintering behavior,microstructure,and dielectric properties of BaTiO3-based ceramics has been investigated.Silica was added to the BaTiO3-based powder prepared by the solid state method with 0.075mo1%,0.15mo1%,and 0.3mo1%,respectively.The SiO2-doped BaTiO3-based ceramic with high density and uniform grain size were obtained,which were sintered in reducing atmosphere.A scanning electron microscope,X-ray diffraction,and LCR meter were used to determine the microstructure as well as the dielectric properties.SiO2 can form a liquid phase belonging to the ternary system of BaO-TiO2-SiO2,leading to the formation of BaTiO3 ceramics with high density at a lower sintering temperature.The SiO2-doped BaTiO3-based ce-ramics can be sintered to a theoretical density higher than 95% at 1220℃ with a soaking time of 2 h.The dielectric constants of the sample with 0.15mo1% SiO2 addition sintered at 1220℃ is about 9000.Doping with a small amount of silica can improve the sinter-ing and dielectric properties of BaTiO3-based ceramics.
