A novel all-polymeric material with high dielectric constant (k) has been developed by blending poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) with polyamide-6 (PA6). The dependence of the dielectric properties on frequency and polymer volume fraction was investigated. When the volume fraction of PA6 is 20%, the dielectric property is better than others. The SEM investigations suggest that the enhanced dielectric behavior originates from significant interfacial interactions of polymer-polymer. The XRD demonstrate that the PA6 and PVDF affect the crystalline behavior of each component. Furthermore, the stable dielectric constants of the blends could be tuned by adjusting the content of the polymers. The created high-k all-polymeric blends represent a novel type of material that are simple technology and easy to process, and is of relatively high dielectric constant, applications as flexible electronics.

ABSTRACTMagnetic cobalt ferrite nanoparticles provide a pathway towards nanocomposites, due to the ability to fabricate particle-matrix thin films in the submicron range. In this work flexible particulate 0-3 type thin-films, composed of magnetic CoFe2O4 particles (8-18 nm) and ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropene) (P(VDF-HFP)) polymer, have been fabricated via multiple spin-coating. The thickness of the thin-films was controlled in the range of 500 nm to 1.2 μm, with magnetic particles dispersively embedded in the polymer matrix. Structural information was analyzed by TEM, XRD, HRTEM and SEM. The dielectric and magnetic properties of the cobalt ferrite/copolymer thin films are systematically investigated. The nanocomposite thin films exhibit composition-dependent effective permittivity and loss tangent, as well as temperature and composition-dependent specific saturation magnetization (Ms). The coercivity (Hc) was not affected by the composite’s composition. These films have great potential in smart magnetic devices and biomagnetic applications.

PVA/PVP-assisted hydrothermal method was used to prepare single-crystal pre-perovskite PbTiO3(PP-PT) nanofibers, in which polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) acted as surfactants. Subsequently, poly (vinylidene fluoride)/ pre-perovskite PbTiO3nanofibers (PVDF/PP-PT) nanocomposite thin films were successfully fabricated by a spin-coating method. The test results showed that PP-PT nanofibers had a good distribution in PVDF matrix. Moreover, α-phase coexisted with β-phase in the PVDF and PVDF/PP-PT nanocomposite thin films. The dielectric properties of the PVDF/PP-PT nanocomposite thin films were measured as a function of frequency in the range of 5 kHz to 5 MHz. It is worth noting that the dielectric constant of nanocomposite thin films increased with increasing the weight ratio of PP-PT nanofibers in the low frequency range. By contrast, the dielectric constant of PVDF/PP-PT nanocomposite thin film which contained 20% PP-PT nanofibers was 43.7% larger than that of pure PVDF thin film (εr= 6.77) at 5 kHz, and the loss tangent was ~0.03.
