Abstract: | Zirconia-P(VDF-TrFE) double-layered laminar composites are experimentally investigated to understand inorganic–organic interfacial
effects in composite dielectrics. The DC and AC electrical response of the individual phases were characterized in addition
to the zirconia-P(VDF-TrFE) composite. The measured real part of permittivity for the laminar composite is found to be higher
than theoretically calculated values using series mixing rules for zirconia and P(VDF-TrFE). Additional polarization of the
composite structure can be attributed to either the presence of interfacial polarization of zirconia and P(VDF-TrFE) or modification
of polymer. Impedance spectroscopy has shown that dielectric properties of laminar composites are dominated by zirconia thin
films in low frequency region. The impedance spectroscopy shows that zirconia blocks charge carrier motion and hence partially
contribute towards additional interfacial polarization in the laminar composite. The dielectric response of the laminar composite
was also modeled through a Maxwell–Wagner interfacial polarization mechanism, which was found to inadequately describe the
polarization response. Equivalent circuit modeling of the composite has revealed an additional interfacial circuit element
for the additional polarization, suggesting a structurally modified polymer at the interface. |
