Dielectric properties and charge storage optimization in poly(vinylidene fluoride) polymer matrix hybrid nanocomposites with BaTiO3 and multi-walled carbon nanotubes

Jin Y., Gerhardt R.A., Georgia Institute of Technology, US

Poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) matrix hybrid nanocomposites featuring ferroelectric barium titanate nanoparticles and multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNT) embedded in the polymer were fabricated by miscible-immiscible coagulation method followed by hot pressing [1]. The SEM images showed good distribution [...]

Effect of the Kind of Carbon-Based Nanofiller on the Electrical Conductivity and Rheological Melt Behavior of Polypropylene Composites

Garzón C., Palza H., Quijada R., Universidad de Chile, CL

Recent interest in the use of nanoparticles for the manufacture of polymer composites has arisen due to the striking improvements in some properties achieved at lower loadings compared to micrometer fillers. In particular, derivatives of [...]
