It is thought that high-dielectric constant, suitable conductivity, and dielectric loss dominate electrorheological (ER) effects. According to this viewpoint, the polyaniline/montmorillonite nanocomposite (PANI-MMT) particles with high-dielectric constant and suitable conductivity were synthesized by an emulsion intercalation method. The electrorheological properties of the suspensions of PANI-MMT particles in silicone oil have been investigated under direct current electric fields. At room temperature, it was found that the yield stress of PANI-MMT ER fluid was 7.19 kPa in 3 kV/mm, which is much higher than that of pure polyaniline (PANI), that of pure montmorillonite (MMT) as well as that of the mixture of polyaniline with clay (PANI+MMT). In the range of 10–100 °C, the yield stress changed only 6.5% with the variation of temperature. The sedimentation ratio of PANI-MMT ERF was about 98% after 60 days. The structure of PANI-MMT particles was characterized by infrared, x-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) spectrometry, respectively. The XRD spectra show that the inner layer distance of PANI-MMT can be enhanced to 1.52 nm when the PANI was inserted into the interlayer of MMT, whereas it is only 0.96 nm for free MMT. TEM shows that the diameter of PANI-MMT particles is about 100 nm. The dielectric constant of PANI-MMT nanocomposite was increased 5.5 times that of PANI and 2.7 times that of MMT, besides, the conductivity of PANI-MMT particle was increased about 8.5 times that of PANI at 1000 Hz. Meanwhile, the dielectric loss tangent can also be increased about 1.7 times that of PANI. It is apparent that the notable ER effect of PANI-MMT ER fluid was attributed to the prominent dielectric property of the polyaniline-montmorillonite nanocomposite particles.

Ceramic film capacitors with high dielectric constant and high breakdown strength would result in advanced power electronic devices with higher performance, improved reliability, and enhanced volumetric and gravimetric efficiencies. We have grown ferroelectric films of lead lanthanum zirconate titanate (PLZT) on base metal foils by chemical solution deposition. Their dielectric properties were characterized over the temperature range between −50 and 150°C. We measured a dielectric constant of ≈700 and dielectric loss of ≈0.07 at −50°C and a dielectric constant of ≈2200 and dielectric loss of ≈0.06 at 150°C. At room temperature, we measured a leakage current density of ≈6.6 × 10−9 A/cm2, mean breakdown strength of 2.6 MV/cm, and energy density >85 J/cm3. A series of highly accelerated lifetime tests (HALT) was performed to determine the reliability of these PLZT film-on-foil capacitors under high temperature and high field stress conditions. Samples were exposed to temperatures ranging from 100 to 150°C and electric fields ranging from 8.7 × 105 V/cm to 1.3 × 106 V/cm during the HALT testing. Breakdown behavior of the samples was evaluated by Weibull analysis. The mean time to failure was projected to be >3000 h at 100°C with a dc electric field of ≈2.6 × 105 V/cm.
