Dielectric properties and thermal conductivity of core-shell structured Ni@NiO/poly(vinylidene fluoride)
<Abstrate>
To suppress the high loss of nickel (Ni)/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)
while remaining high dielectric constant (k) near the percolation threshold.
In this study, core-shell structured Ni (Ni@NiO) particles were prepared by
heat treatment of raw Ni powder under air atmosphere and incorporated into
PVDF to prepare Ni@NiO/PVDF dielectric composites. The morphological,
dielectric properties and thermal conductivity of the composites are
characterized. The results indicate that compared with the raw Ni reinforced
PVDF composites, the Ni@NiO particles endow PVDF with a high-k and
rather low dissipation factor owing to the presence of NiO shell between Ni
core and PVDF which serves as an interlayer between the Ni cores preventing
them from contacting with each other. Additionally, the Ni@NiO/PVDF
composites still possess a high thermal conductivity. Therefore, the as-prepared
Ni@NiO/PVDF composites possess high-k but low loss, high thermal
conductivity, making them promising for the industrial application as
embedded capacitors.
